Documenting a dramatic history at the University of Alabama
Foster Auditorium was scene of memorable events
1010-GO-FOSTER
The movie “Three Days at Foster” documents historic events while describing the integration of sports at the University of Alabama.
In spring 1999 while working as a magazine editor in New York and Atlanta, Keith Dunavant traveled to Alabama to do a feature story on Wilbur Jackson, the first African-American to sign a football scholarship with the University of Alabama. Jackson told Dunavant an emotional story about returning to Foster Auditorium on the University of Alabama campus many years after college. Dunavant knew right then it would make a great documentary film.
