On this day in 1963, Governor George Wallace blocked the door of Foster Auditorium at the University of Alabama in a symbolic attempt to keep his inaugural promise to stop the desegregation of the state's only remaining all-white university.

To learn more about George Wallace and his stand in the schoolhouse door, try the following resources:
  • George Wallace: Presidential Contender (C-SPAN)
  • George Wallace's School House Door Speech (Alabama Department of Archives & History)
  • ​Nicholas Katzenbach, Unsung Hero of America's Desegregation (The Atlantic)
  • Wallace in the Schoolhouse Door (NPR)
