This Day in Black History: Feb. 3, 1956
Autherine Lucy becomes first African-American student to enroll in classes at the University of Alabama.
After a long legal battle that included a Supreme Court ruling on her behalf, Autherine Lucy became the first African-American to enroll at the University of Alabama. However, soon after her arrival, a mob of angry segregationists would cause uproar over her admittance, and the school would suspend Lucy on grounds that it could not provide a safe environment for her. Lucy would work with civil lawyers, including Thurgood Marshall, to mount a lawsuit against the university, but would be permanently expelled for allegedly slandering the school’s reputation in her court filing. The university finally overturned her expulsion in 1980, and she went on to earn a masters there in 1992. The school later named an endowed scholarship in her honor and displayed a portrait of her in the student union.
