BIRMINGHAM, AL The University of Alabama system Board of Trustees voted Friday to rename a building at the University of Alabama at Birmingham that was named for former governor George C. Wallace.
Wallace was the center of attention nationwide during the Civil Rights Era in Alabama, and famously stood in the doorway of Foster Auditorium at the University of Alabama, a symbolic attempt to block two black students, Vivian Malone and James Hood, from enrolling at the school.
