When George Wallace is the governer at the time and an influencial figure at the university, there's not much the Bear could do. People close to him had said that he had been pushing the administration and Wallace for years on the issues before any movement was made.

Bear Bryant probably realized he needed blacks in order to win. I am not saying he was a racist, but recruiting blacks because you need them to compete with teams like Southern Cal does not really make him a great humanitarian in my opinion
