Black, White, and Greek

After two University of Alabama sororities rejected an African American student because of her race, an anti-racist student group took action to prevent segregation within the university's Greek system.

In 1963, in the midst of the heated debate over the desegregation of American schools, the University of Alabama announced that it would for the first time allow African Americans to enroll. Fifty years later, in September 2013, two University of Alabama sororities rejected an African American student because of her race. As a result, an anti-racist student group called the Mallet Assembly and other members of the community took action to prevent segregation within the university's Greek system.
