FILE - In this June 11, 1963 file photo, Gov. George Wallace blocks the entrance to the University of Alabama as he turned back a federal officer attempting to enroll two black students at the university campus in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Wallace backed down when President John Kennedy federalized the Alabama National Guard and ordered troops to Tuscaloosa. Wallace's daughter, Peggy Wallace Kennedy, said her family has lived in the shadow of the schoolhouse door ever since. She said her father never told her why he did it and she never asked him before he died in 1998. Since then, she has been involved in civil rights events in Alabama. She wants to give hope to people by showing that families can change. (AP Photo/File)

George Wallace, right, that the guard is under federal control as the two meet at the door of Foster Auditorium at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Recent flaps over racially offensive language at the University of Alabama fit a pattern that's dogged the state's flagship school since it was integrated: Missteps along the path to greater diversity and inclusion often make more of an impression than positive strides do.(AP Photo)

In this Sept. 2, 2009 photo, University of Alabama senior Kendra Key poses for a photo against a background of former Student Government Association presidents on the campus of the University in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Key, a black candidate who narrowly lost the SGA presidency this year, 7,323 votes to 7,062, said a record 53 percent turnout in the spring election signals that the next wave of SGA officers may be more diverse. Other historically white Southern universities have had minority student presidents in the last decade, according to the American Student Government Association. At Alabama, however, where George Wallace made his "stand in the schoolhouse door" for racial segregation in 1963, no black has won the presidency since Cleophus Thomas Jr. in 1976.
