I remember watching this live at the time.

Democrats will never talk about this

Wallace all the way

I had protested this man's racist policies and the failings of his State, but was at the '72 Convention with my mother who was one of his pledged delegates. I met him and shook his hand less than two months after he was shot five times and paralyzed from the waist down. He looked frail and his expression was like a deer in the headlights. He later renounced the hatred he had spewed most of his life. Sometimes, it takes a lot.

Rest in Peace Sir George Wallace and Sir Strom Thurmond 🥰😇

One issue candidate. Busing wasnt an issue for vast majority of people. Country was largely suburban by then. "Law & order" candidate yet Alabama's crime rate rose as high or higher than other states. Disgraceful opportunist, new deal liberal until he needed to be a racist to win governor race.
