On
the third day of classes Lucy was confronted by a mob consisting of
students, and members of the Tuscaloosa, Alabama community. Armed with
rocks, eggs, and bricks, this mob screamed racist epithets at Lucy and
threatened her life. At one point, Lucy was hit in the back with an egg
as she was ushered, under police escort, into an auditorium. Although
physically separated from the mob, Lucy was still able to hear the jeers
and the shouts of the crowd outside. Lucy remained in the auditorium
for hours as the crowd outside taunted her. Eventually, Lucy was
escorted from the building unharmed. - See more at:
