This is for homework, and I can't find the answer anywhere...

When were women allowed to serve on jury in Alabama?

Thanks for your help.

Found it!!!

1966 -- The ACLU won a major legal victory in White v. Crook, a challenge to Alabama's exclusion of women from criminal juries.

In White v. Crook, a three-judge federal court declared an Alabama law that excluded women from state juries to be unconstitutional. (02/07/66)

Here's more info on the case.

Lowndes County, Alabama -- known locally as "bloody Lowndes" -- had a long history of violence. A small minority of white men terrorized black men and kept all women in their place through periodic lynchings. In the rare event that a murderer reached trial, an all white, male jury inevitably voted to acquit. In 1965 lawyers for the ACLU, including Pauli Murray and Dorothy Kenyon, challenged white male supremacy by attacking the Alabama jury system. In White v. Crook they charged that the jury selection system violated the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment by barring all black men through discrimination and all women by statute from the jury rolls. In 1966 federal judges in Montgomery accepted their argument.

Hope this helps
