<p>Today is a sad day for the Alabama family with the death of James Hood, the last surviving principal from the “stand in the schoolhouse door.” The wonderful way that the University has honored James Hood, Vivian Malone, and Autherine Lucy is something that should be a point of pride for everyone associated with this amazing institution: <a href=“http://malonehoodplaza.ua.edu/[/url]”>http://malonehoodplaza.ua.edu/</a>
Roll Tide.</p>
<p>Prayers for his family and all who are affected by his passing.</p>
<p>Courage personified.</p>
