Foster Auditorium, National Historic Landmark in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
Foster Auditorium stands as a multi-purpose facility at the University of Alabama, featuring a capacity of 3,800 seats for various events and gatherings.
The auditorium gained national recognition in 1963 when Governor George Wallace attempted to prevent African American students from enrolling at the University of Alabama.
The Malone-Hood Plaza and clock tower at the rear entrance memorialize the first Black students who enrolled at the University of Alabama.
