“Fables of Faubus” is a composition written by jazz double bassist and composer Charles Mingus. One of Mingus’s most explicitly political works, the song was written as a direct protest against Arkansas governor Orval Faubus, who in 1957 sent out the National Guard to prevent the racial integration of Little Rock Central High School by nine African American teenagers, in what became known as the Little Rock Crisis.
