<p>I Hope they had a good turnout today. I look forward to seeing it when I’m down there in a few weeks. </p>

<p>I know many current students don’t really know the significance of Foster Auditorium, but hopefully the renovations and the plaza will encourage them to learn more about the history.</p>

<p>Autherine Lucy, James Hood, and the family of Vivian Malone were on campus today participating in a panel discussion and the dedication of the plaza and clock tower. I really wanted to attend both events, but had other commitments. :(</p>

<p>I’ve read and highly recommend former UA dean, Dr. E. Culpepper Clark’s book “The Schoolhouse Door: Segregation’s Last Stand at the University of Alabama” as a way to learn about this very important period in UA’s history.</p>

<p>Have you seen the plaza yet? If so, how does it look? Are the renovations to Foster done yet, or are they still ongoing? I know they were still working on things when I was down there for the UF game.</p>

<p>The plaza looks incredible…Something befitting a building of Foster’s historic nature. The Foster renovations are done. It will be rededicated tomorrow when Condi Rice is in town.</p>

<p>Thanks, that’s great to hear. I’m looking forward to seeing the finished product. It should be a must stop for anyone doing a campus tour.</p>

<p>The video is very good.</p>
