Mary Jean Price Walls graduated second in her class in 1950.She had high hopes when she applied to a local college,Southwest Missouri State College.But after sending off her application,she spent months waiting for a reply.It never came.
Worse than simply being denied admission(拒绝接收),the school didn’t reply to her at all.It wasn’t a matter of her school records,but of her skin color:Wallsis African American,and in those days,that fact alone closed a lot of doors. “I was sad and I was hurt,”Walls told ABC News.“I did not expect the skin color would affect my application.I thought I could go to university like other students.”
Four years later,the government declared that all schools should not discriminate against(歧视)African Americans— but it was too late for Walls.She’d moved on with her life, becoming a wife and a mother,and working as an elevator operator.She retired last year,at the age of 77.
She stayed quiet about the unfairness she’d faced in Missouri State.Her son,Terry,went through school records and found that she’d been the first black student to ever apply to the college.Today,four percent of the Southwest Missouri State College body is African American—including Terry.
Although it’s too late for Missouri State to change the past,the school is awarding Walls with an honorary degree(荣誉学位)from the school.While she knows it’s too late for herto change the course of her own life with the degree,it’s a chance for her to show her family that Missouri State has changed in the last 60 years,and there’s not a single door closed to them anymore.
