Vivian Malone Jones was target of Wallace's schoolhouse stand
ATLANTA -- Vivian Malone Jones, one of two black students whose effort to enroll at the University of Alabama led to George Wallace's infamous "stand in the schoolhouse door" in 1963, died Thursday. She was 63.
Jones, who went on to become the first black to graduate from the school, died at Atlanta Medical Center, where she was admitted Tuesday after suffering a stroke, said her sister, Sharon Malone.
