Editing Stewart Udall (section)

==Early life and education==
Stewart Udall was born on January 31, 1920, in [[St. Johns, Apache County, Arizona|Saint Johns, Arizona]], to Louisa Lee Udall (1893–1974) and [[Levi Stewart Udall]] (1891–1960). He had five siblings: Inez, Elma, [[Mo Udall|Morris (Mo)]], Eloise, and David Burr. As a young boy Stewart worked on the family farm in St. Johns. He was remembered by his mother as a child with tremendous energy and an unquenchable curiosity.<ref name="library.arizona.edu">{{cite web |url=http://www.library.arizona.edu/exhibits/sludall/career.htm |title=career |website=Library.arizona.edu |date=January 31, 1920 |access-date=September 28, 2016}}</ref>

Udall attended the [[University of Arizona]] for two years until [[World War II]]. He served four years in the Air Force as an enlisted gunner on a [[B-24 Liberator]], flying fifty missions over Western Europe from Italy with the [[736th Bombardment Squadron|736th Bomb Squadron]], [[454th Bombardment Group|454th Bomb Group]], for which he received the Air Medal with three Oak Leaf Clusters. He returned to the [[University of Arizona]] in 1946, where he attended law school and played guard on a championship basketball team. In 1947, Udall, along with his brother Mo, helped integrate the University of Arizona cafeteria. Mo and Stewart were respected student athletes and Mo was student body president. On their way to lunch at the Student Union one day, they saw a group of black students eating lunch outside the building. Black students were allowed to buy food in the cafeteria but had to eat outside. When Mo and Stewart invited Morgan Maxwell Jr., a black freshman, to share their table in the cafeteria, it helped to calm some long-simmering issues surrounding [[racial segregation]] at the university.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.udall.gov/pdf/AR2009.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=July 22, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100527122624/http://www.udall.gov/pdf/AR2009.pdf |archive-date=May 27, 2010 }}</ref>
