George Wallace
George Corley Wallace Jr. (
August 25,
1919 –
September 13,
1998), was a United States politician who was elected
Governor of
Alabama as a
Democrat four times (
1962,
1970,
1974 and
1982) and ran for
US President four times, running as a Democrat in
1964,
1972, and
1976, and as the
American Independent Party candidate in
1968. He is best known for his
pro-segregation attitudes during the American
desegregation period, which he modified after the passage of the
1964 Civil Rights Act, arguing that it was better for him to be governor while the schools were being desegregated than for someone else.
