What happened?

thank you :)

In 1963, two black graduates were accepted in the University of Alabama. When the students tried to enter the University, The Governor George Wallace stood in the door way with the State Patrol Unit, preventing them from entering. John F Kennedy ordered the National Guard Unit to guard the black students and allow them to enter the school.

How did this affect the Civil Rights Movement?

The speech given had little impact on stopping the Civil Rights Movements Mission of interrogation. Other colleges were already being integrated and after Wallace stood in the door the students could still enter and more African Americans registering was treated as a big deal. George Wallace was not able to keep segregation in Alabama.
