DZHBrown- No, that is not a stupid question. In the early 1960's through the early 1970's Alabama and most of the south was extremely segrated. This was to the point where former Ala. govonor Wallace tried to block at least two African American students from enrolling at U of Ala. He had a famous speech where he stood in the school house door and said, "Segregation now, segregation tommorrow and segregation forever." The Univ. has come a long way since those times and I sincerely comend Carla Fergason and UA's Gamma Phi Beta for breaking down these barriers even further.
