The Walter Stovall Papers primarily contains letters documenting the response of friends, family, and the general public to

to integrate the University of Georgia. Stovall and Hunter met at the University of Georgia as journalism students. The papers
include correspondence and printed materials (periodicals and clippings) directly related to the marriage as well as articles
related to more general Civil Rights issues such as the Civil Rights Act, 1964. The papers also contain a small number of
letters written by Charlayne Hunter Stovall and Walter Stovall to his parents detailing the birth of their daughter, Susan.

to desegregation. Specific court cases documented include Ward v. Regents of the University System of Georgia and Holmes v.
