MD may hab come to BAMA to mine the motherlode of gold that Selmer represents to THE
Fig Newton of His Constipation, but he can never deal with Selma's progress.

Some kids down at the bar tonight were talkin' 'bout the situation & I said,"If we had just got in line behind Truman in '48, none of this stuff we're having deal with right now would have had to happen"

After I came home, I was inspired to google

When the U.S. armed forces were officially integrated in 1948, all of the facilities at Maxwell quickly followed suit. A new Maxwell grammar school was the first integrated public school in the city. Prior to the well-known Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955, some black and white airmen from Maxwell purposely created "incidents" on the city buses, with whites sitting in the rear and blacks in the front of the buses. During the 1970s, the women's movement helped increase the number of women serving in the armed forces, and women became an increasingly evident presence at both Maxwell and Gunter. The climax of the gender revolution at the base came when Brig. Gen. Susan Pamerleau became commandant of the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC) in 1995.
