George Wallace

George Wallace was an American politician, best known as the governor of Alabama, serving multiple terms. He is most famous for his strong opposition to civil rights for Black Americans, notably declaring "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever" in 1963. His policies were rooted in supporting racial segregation and resisting federal efforts to promote integration. Despite his controversial stance, Wallace later expressed regret for his earlier views. He also ran for president multiple times. Wallace's legacy is complex, reflecting both his political persistence and the painful history of racial division in the United States.
