Ku Klux Klan leader's name stripped from Alabama State University residence hall [View all]
A historical Black university is unshackling itself from remnants of the Jim Crow era.
Officials at Alabama State University have officially stripped the name of a proud Ku Klux Klan leader from a campus residence hall, reported The Associated Press.
The building on the Montgomery campus had featured the name of KKK member and former governor Bibb Graves since 1928.
The school hasn’t approved a new name for the building yet.
