In this June 16, 2019 photo, the Autherine Lucy Clock Tower at the Malone Hood Plaza stands in front of Foster Auditorium on the University of Alabama campus in Tuscaloosa, Ala. The tower is named for Autherine Lucy, the first African-American student to attend the University of Alabama in 1956. Gov. George C. Wallace made a "stand in the schoolhouse door" at the auditorium's entrance on June 11, 1963, as he defied a federal order that the university admit African-American students Vivian Malone and James Hood, for whom the plaza is named.
