The Most Dangerous Racist in America

* * *

[George Wallace is] perhaps the most dangerous racist in America. . . . I am not sure that he believes all the poison he preaches, but he is artful enough to convince others that he does.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., interview, 1963

I, George C. Wallace, as Governor of the State of Alabama, have by my action raised issues between the Central Government and the Sovereign State of Alabama, which said issues should be adjudicated in the manner prescribed by the Constitution of the United States; and now being mindful of my duties and responsibilities under the Constitution of the United States, the Constitution of the State of Alabama, and seeking to preserve and maintain the peace and dignity of this State, and the individual freedoms of the citizens thereof, do hereby denounce and forbid this illegal and unwarranted action by the Central Government.

Governor George Wallace[42]
