Fully aware of his great power and influence, should the Bear have acted faster and more aggressively.
No on in the state of Alabama was going to refuse Bear Bryant.
Can you fricking read? He didnt have the power you are talking about at the time we are discussing. And regardless of how much power he had at alabama, george fricking wallace was the governor of the whole damn state and was effectively the most powerful alabama almuni on earth. He said no.
How many different ways does it need to be said before you will get it through your head. The question does NOT still stand nor was it an interesting one to begin with. You were answered early in the thread. Take your fricking answer and fill some jars with it. Jesus.

Mother of God you are mad.
The only suggestion I made was that perhaps Bear--knowing his influence--could have done more to change the social norms by leveraging his power.
That's not an unreasonable idea at all.
And regardless of Wallace's title, there wasn't a more powerful man in Alabama at that time than Bear Bryant.
Wallace would have committed political suicide had he publicly renounced what could have been a strong push for integration by Bear Bryant.
