But then one of the governors aides suggest he listen more closely to the line that follows in birmingham they love the governor. The next line anybody remember . Boo, boo, boo. Sung by a group of female africanamerican backup singers. Including, by the way, the great mary clayton who originated the role of the acid queen in the whos tommy. That has nothing to do with what were talking about tonight. I just think thats a cool fact. So ronny and the boys never got their citation from the governor. We have chosen this line as the title for our program tonight because it is like the legacy of George Wallace debated, parsed, and still relevant in the 21st century america. We are fortunate to have three respected and accomplished scholars with us tonight to explore the role of George Wallace in birmingham civil rights struggle and the legacy of wallace in our politics and culture today. Our first speaker will be dan t. Carter. He has served as professor and visiting scholar at emory univers
Related to George Wallace. And the larger time frame of 1963 or the 1960s and alabama. George wallace is one of probably the most influential and well known politicians that comes out of the state. He hes governor for four terms, two consecutive terms and then two additional terms. And is involved in a lot of what is happening in the early 60s. He also makes two very influential runs for president in 1968 and 1972. He makes additional runs in 1964 and 1976. But the two that really shape american politics were the 1968 and 1972 campaigns.

So this is the moment where we really see his first stance as sort of a hardline segregationist, and where we start to see this rhetoric that is going to make him a notable figure, not only in alabama politics, but in National Politics. Elections in d. C. Is distressing and revealing. We will not sacrifice
Of the california ballot in next years general election. George wallace made his first run in National Politics in 1964 where he enters a few key primaries and does well there. His first Major National run comes in 1968. Where he has set himself up through these public appearances that he makes during the desegregation of aids and during the standin schoolhouse. He sets himself up to be his voice and standing against all of these changes that the federal government is making. He takes what hes been making and he broadens it for a national audience. And thats a debate that really resonates with a lot of pop feeling their concerns have not been heard and feeling they are living in a know, the federal government is moving too fast with their decisions and feel like their voices arent being heard. So George Wallace, in 1968, sets himself up as a very successful candidate for president. He wins five southern states, and receives over 10 million votes. So he really speaks to a minority that
