ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The idea for a national symposium on contemporary race relations grew out of discussions among a number of University of Alabama faculty and staff members concerning the then impending twenty-fifth anniversary of Governor George C. Wallace's "stand in the schoolhouse door" at the University. These discussions began in the spring of 1987 and centered, either explicitly or implicitly, on both the need to recognize this occasion in the most appropriate way and the desire to realize the best possible outcome of observing an event that was one of the most deleterious in the University's history. This book indicates quite clearly that these early discussions, and the work that followed, were highly productive. The national symposium held June 1113, 1988, was an unqualified success, not only in terms of attendance but, more importantly, for the positive effects it generated for participants, observers, and the University through the informed, sensitive discussions that were generated by the speakers whose essays appear in this volume.
