February 3rd

On this day,

Autherine Lucy, the first Black person to be accepted at the University of Alabama after a court order, enrolled for classes in 1956.  Three days later, on February 6, the school suspended her saying that she was responsible for riots engaged in by a white mob of over 1000 people.
