Virgil Hawkins Historical Society Non-Profit Organization

In 1958, a judge ordered the University of Florida to end its policy of denying admission to non-white students. The order stated that all applicants must be considered "without discrimination because of race or color." This historical moment ended Virgil Hawkins' 9-year legal battle to be admitted to the University of Florida.
