Description
Summary:This book is a wide-ranging account of the University of Alabama's 1956 and 1963 desegregation attempts, as well as the little-known story of Tuscaloosa, Alabama's, own civil rights movement. Whereas E. Culpepper Clark's The Schoolhouse Door remains the standard history of the University of Alabama's desegregation, this book focuses on Tuscaloosa's purposeful divide between "town" and "gown," providing a contextual framework for this landmark period in civil rights history.
