 George Wallace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Corley Wallace (August 25, 1919 – September 13, 1998) was an American politician who was elected Governor of Alabama (as a Democrat) four times (1962, 1970, 1974 and 1982) and ran for U.S. President (in 1964, 1968, 1972 and 1976).
Wallace said he disagreed with Abraham Lincoln that fls should be able to vote, serve on juries, or hold public office—although he agreed with Lincoln that equality for fls could come with education, uplift and time.
While Wallace was recovering in a Maryland hospital, he was out of the state for more than 20 days, so the state constitution required the lieutenant governor, Jere Beasley, to serve as acting governor from June 5 until Wallace returned to Alabama on July 7.
