Before there was “law and order” as a political slogan, there was George Wallace — the Alabama governor who promised “segregation forever,” blocked Black students at the schoolhouse door, and rode white fear all the way to a shot at the White House.

Did George Wallace truly repent — or did he just read the room? What do you think? Let’s talk below.
