The official Twitter for The University of Alabama Chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Join our chapter at the Capstone!
We applaud the University’s efforts to name buildings after our heroes on campus. Say hello to John England Jr. Hall, named after one of the first African Americans admitted to The University of Alabama School of Law. This dorm cements his legacy, his resume, and his dedication.
We believe voting is fundamental to our democracy. That’s why we are thrilled to support recent efforts calling for the @univofalabama to make election day a campus holiday, which we believe will give students at the Capstone a better opportunity to practice this civic duty.
While highlighting our past achievements and benefactions is vital, charting a course #forward for present and future generations to make history offers a unique opportunity.

This is not protesting or activism; this is an insurrection, an assault on our democracy, and a coup incited by President Trump. - @DerrickNAACP

If Americans look carefully enough, they’ll find that evidence of structures of segregation — and marks of white supremacy — still surrounds them. A photo essay captures the traces of oppression hiding in plain sight in the architecture around us. https://t.co/ptuikOJSTi

“People do not choose rebellion, it is forced upon them. Revolution is always an act of self- defense.” - Rest In Power to #civilrights icon C. T. Vivian
Civil rights icon the Rev. C.T. Vivian has died at 95.
Vivian’s bold challenge of a segregationist Alabama sheriff while trying to register Black voters in Selma in 1965 sparked hundreds, then thousands, to march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge. https://t.co/WJVsTMBWM8
We mourn the passing of #JohnLewis, who fought relentlessly in our nation’s continuing battle for civil rights. Less than a year ago, Congressman visited to talk with the @BlackburnUA. We are thankful to have his giant footprints on our campus as a reminder for students to fill.
