Did you all catch that? He kept the diagnosis of cancer from his wife. Denying her treatment that could have saved her life. Unbelievable!

I remember going to her funeral. I was 6 years old

I did not know much of what I watched, but I wrote a letter to Lurleen in 3rd grade as a class project. I received a reply and still have it. It was about leadership and morality. My, how the times have changed.

Incredible documentation. Fascinating. Thanks for posting.

When the lovely and gracious Lurleen Burns Wallace ran for Alabama Governor in 1966, she faced a very crowded Democratic field (of at least a dozen) consisting of many true Alabama political heavy weights in that race. Lurleen was a tireless campaigner and visited every single county in Alabama leading up to the primary. Her sense of affection and connection to her fellow Alabamians was real and heartfelt - and the feeling was mutual. The former dime-store clerk won that primary with a whopping 55% of the vote - making a "run-off" (second primary) unnecessary. Mrs. Wallace ran up vote totals in various counties that her husband George did not come close to getting in his own (four) winning Governor's races. "Governor Lurleen," as she was affectionately called, never once mentioned race during her run and, in fact, received a majority of the black vote the following November in the general election. RIP dear lady.

I'm black and even though she supported jim crow laws,it really isn't her fault,I mean she lived in Alabama and married a guy 8 years older than

There's nothing "1960s fashion" about withholding information from a patient. That was as back asswards then as it is now!

Further proof thatGeorge was a horrible man

George was only ever looking out for himself. Even of we were to take away his controversial stance on civil rights, he’s still a rotten and despicable man. I’m glad my father wasn’t anything like Wallace.

Who does't tell there wife she has cancer?

Luleen Wallace hitched her wagon to a racist and a scoundrel.....a poor man's Hughie Long. His relative success as a 3rd party candidate in 1968 is still a national embarrassment.

I was a little kid living just outside Birmingham when all this went down. I remember even at that young age thinking how opportunistic and immoral George Wallace behaved.

George was a pure narcissist who didn’t deserve Lurleen. He used the heck out of her until she was unable to even stand! Such a sad life for her; didn’t even honor her last dying request 😡

Rest In Peace Lurleen Wallace.

Lurleen Wallace was my great grandfathers cousin on my dads side
