Lucy Clock Tower

The story will be told, for the most part, at the circular focal point of the plaza. A 40-foot-tall brick clock tower, with open arches, will serve as a symbolic feature and, through a series of large bronze plaques at its base, tell of Autherine Lucy Foster, Vivian Malone Jones, James Hood and the courageous changes they made at the Capstone. The plaques will bear the likenesses of those heroes. The plaza will be named for Vivian Malone and James Hood and the clock tower will be named for Autherine Lucy.

We feel the plaza design will create a memorable experience for all who visit and forever symbolize the University we are today because of the events of that day and the courage of the individuals instrumental in our journey.
