| Abstract |
In the early 1950s the Alabama Library Association attempted to integrate its membership. This failed attempt illuminated the chasm that existed between the members who were willing to change regardless of local and state segregation statutes, those who believed segregation was ethically and morally right, and those who wished the entire subject would just disappear.
