Our impact on the world

Southern Integration

In 1948, Silas Hunt became the first black person to integrate a traditionally white Southern university, enrolling in the University of Arkansas School of Law six years before the Brown v. Board of Education decision. Likewise, Edith Irby Jones soon after became the first black graduate from a Southern university, attaining her medical degree from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Both acts happened without litigation or protest.
