Stand in the Schoolhouse Door
The Stand in the Schoolhouse Door took place at Foster Auditorium at the University of Alabama on June 11, 1963. George Wallace, the Democratic Governor of Alabama, in a symbolic attempt to keep his inaugural promise of "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever" and stop the desegregation of schools, stood at the door of the auditorium to try to block the entry of two black students, Vivian Malone and James Hood.〔Elliot, Debbie.

The incident brought Wallace into the national spotlight.〔(Democratic Governor George C. Wallace's School House Door Speech ). Accessed February 19, 2009.〕
==Background==
On May 17, 1954, the Supreme Court of the United States handed down its decision regarding the case called ''Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas'', in which the plaintiffs charged that the education of black children in separate public schools from their white counterparts was unconstitutional. ''Brown v. Board of Education'' meant that the University of Alabama had to be desegregated. In the years following, hundreds of African-Americans applied for admission, but all were denied. The University worked with police to find any disqualifying qualities, or when this failed, intimidated the applicants. But in 1963, three African-Americans with perfect qualifications—Vivian Malone Jones, Dave McGlathery and James Hood—applied, refusing to be intimidated. In early June a federal district judge ordered that they be admitted, and forbade Governor Wallace from interfering.〔(Standing In the Schoolhouse Door (June) ). Veterans of the Civil Rights Movement.
