Fifty years ago Charlayne Hunter (now Charlayne Hunter-Gault) and Hamilton Holmes were admitted as the first two black students at the University of Georgia. As Hunter-Gault told NPR's Steve Inskeep (listen to the story), "We were greeted by a screaming, howling mob of students, and I think some provocateurs. And as we walked under the arch, the students were yelling and screaming all kinds of epithets, and telling us to go home--in some cases saying, 'Kill the you-know-what.'"
