Our next call comes from oakland, maryland. Good evening. How are you doing . Good. I remember in 1972 as a College Student at Allegheny College in cumberland, md. , he came to the campus one day. The following day he was shot at the world mall. What i can remember of that is i read about something that does not seem to be talked about much. He went through a major transition after this. I think i read that he did talk openly about it and had some sort of religious conversion so predict conversion somewhat. Also, i can remember seeing him received an award from alabamas naacp. That was in his last term as governor, i think. Am i wrong on that or not . I can remember actually watching that and i was amazed to see the transformation from segregationist to basically receiving that type of recognition. Thank you very much. We are going to be discussing all of that throughout the evening on the contenders. Give us a snapshot of what harry was speaking about. If you want to know what happens

Education was a big part of it. The underlying force of this passion for governor wallace was, at least in the 1960s, was the race issue. Our first call on George Wallace comes from michigan. You are on the contenders. We are live from montgomery alabama. Thank you very much. What appeal did governor wallace have to white ethnic, and religious groups like jews, catholics, etc. , outside of the south and the urban areas . Also, what did he take of senator goldwater . Senator goldwater was also against the civil rights stuff. Thank you very much. He did have a remarkable appeal to ethnic, particularly first generation, eastern europeans. He did not have the baggage of being antisemitic and of being antiforeign. Wh
About his history with neoconfederate groups in his state. Mr. Mcdaniel has been keynoting events hosted by this group, which is a local chapter of the sons of confederate veterans. One of the events that Chris Mcdaniel did for them featured all of the attendees dressing up in confederate uniforms. And these are not just guys who celebrate the history of the confederacy. These are guys who think there ought to be a confederacy now. They fly the Confederate Flag and wear confederate battle uniforms. Not just because they like that the south seceded once, but because they want the south to secede again, and for pretty much the same reasons that they did the first time. This was a political embarrassment when the neoconfederate, neosecessionist leanings of this guy were reported nationally, but it should be noted that it was not an embarrassment for him. He is not denying that this is who he is, he is not denying that these are the groups that he associates with, with and that he speaks a
