Plaques around Auburn University at Montgomery campus honoring former Gov. George Wallace’s contributions to the University should be removed. George Wallace was a racist policy maker who advocated against equal education and was known for his “Stand In the Schoolhouse Door” policy that aimed to prevent nonwhite students from entering schools. If you believe AUM campus should renounce it’s association with Wallace, or at least stop advertising it, sign this petition.

The stories coming in about what this campus represents are heavy. We are still fighting to get the administration to acknowledge why this plaque needs to come down.

The most racist institution I have ever been in . It’s worse for african international student .
AUM treats their African American students poorly regarding scholarships, help graduating, financial aid, etc .
AUM is very well know for its racism and lack of cultural acknowledgement.
