Unrest at Alabama as Black student enrolls
In Tuscaloosa a crowd of about 1,000 white male students rioted over Autherine Lucy becoming the first Black enrolled student at the University of Alabama. A car with Black occupants was damaged, a cross burned on campus, and protesters marched to downtown shouting for white supremacy. Leonard Wilson, a 19 year old sophomore, led some remarks and predicted more action. No Black students sought enrollment at Auburn Alabama Polytechnic. Autherine Lucy attended classes after the university met a federal court order to end racial barriers.
