'''''Lucy v. Adams''''', 350 U.S. 1 (1955), was a [[Supreme Court of the United States|U.S. Supreme Court]] case that successfully established the right of all citizens to be accepted as students at the [[University of Alabama]].

The case involved [[African American]] citizens [[Autherine Lucy]] and [[Pollie Myers Hudson|Polly Anne Myers]], who were refused admission to the University of Alabama solely on account of their race or color.

The Supreme Court affirmed the lower court decision, saying that it enjoins and restrains the respondent and others designated from denying these petitioners, solely on account of their race or color, the right to enroll in the University of Alabama and pursue courses of study there.
