Vivian Juanita Malone Jones (July 15, 1942 – October 13, 2005) was one of the first two African American students to enroll at the University of Alabama in 1963 and the university's first African American graduate. She was made famous when Alabama Governor George Wallace blocked her and James Hood from enrolling at the all-white university.
Malone was born in Mobile, Alabama in 1942, the fourth of eight children. Her parents both worked at Brookley Air Force Base; her father served in maintenance and her mother worked as a domestic servant. Her parents emphasized the importance of receiving an education and made sure that their children attended college. Each of Malone's older brothers attended Tuskegee University. Her parents were also active in civil rights and often participated in local meetings, donations, and activities in the community that promoted equality and desegregation. As a teenager, Vivian was often involved in community organizations to end racial discrimination and worked closely with local leaders of the movements to work for desegregation in schools.
In 1963, Vivian Malone and James Hood successfully integrated the University of Alabama. In 2003, 40 years after the Stand in the Schoolhouse Door, Malone talked about the experience.

Hello all. I made this for a project in MGT 320 this year on one of the school computers, and hated the idea of having all that work wasted after it was in the Prezi. So I thought I'd immortalize this here. I was surprised nothing like this was ever made, but now it is. I hope you find it useful if you evr make a presentation. -Dedicated to Vivian Malone-Jones (1942-2005)
