He's just a he just rough old country boy now.

I want to see my husband.

Look at your.

See what the hell you knew.

Good lord girl what are you going

to make of all this mess.

And you know this every day. And.

The Alabama love this.

And girl.

Me I will still miss her.

Everything.

Oh, right.

Well,

this good for a star Miami paper while it is

political sun could be a high point after primaries tomorrow.

This thing in Maryland supposed to be at that place for love.

Big shot. Oh, yeah. I know.

Give me some accumulator, trooper.

Put those damn handcuffs on you.

Just drive him out to his mama's.

God damn, you been trusty here since the 50 thing.

You don't have to put my bags on the telephone if y'all want to go.

No one.

But what has Camille yet?

We running behind here, you know.

You know, she's still upstairs fixing herself.

She'll be along soon.

Call me today, Ricky.

Well, sort of damp and gone now, governor.

Chicago paper here.

Wallace could be a frontrunner for the Democratic nomination

after primaries tomorrow.

And then we see you there.

You mean to catch him, Gerald?

Never mind much, do you?

What you gobbling down baby face?

Could be the end of your time.

You can put ketchup on it.

Ain't that little late for you to start running back down and get on

your game list.

This loss of favorite Wallace, likely to win Maryland's power possible

two of the primaries could throw the Democratic nomination into a turmoil.

Usually what a good press secretary.

Rick, if you can read those headlines. Yeah.

Yeah. He is a talented man.

It says here, governor, you are a coal

voter guest in the presidential campaign.

Totally.

What's that supposed to mean, exactly?

He's supposed to be able to tell me.

It's why I make you present at State College.

Now, mayor. Yeah.

How do you do another shindig for all your buddies over the Jeff

Davis hotel overnight?

Look ahead.

$50 a month walk up, law office downtown.

Ain't got no more sense to live like some millionaire.

God damn a rap sheet got for everybody

to see.

You're my little brother.

Are you going to get me in trouble sooner or later?

Now I'm running for president now.

I mean, he just wouldn't get on me about that, George.

I tell you what. Y'all can I tell you what? Shut up.

Can I tell you what? Damn straight. Hey,

Frank.

Only here, governor.

Even the boss today.

Let me see that.

When we first started on this thing, it was like guerilla raids up north.

Back in 64,

practically living off the land as we went.

Barely enough money to pay for a hotel room, man.

Yeah, them hotels wouldn't even take us home.

Figured we shouldn't cheat on my guess.

It's just rockin in places.

Wisconsin. Cleveland. Norfolk.

Yeah, but I got wound up almost winning.

Some of them from Arizona.

People started saying, oh, them yahoos are loose again.

Yeah, we run against 68.

What do we give them, ten bucks. Yeah.

And after these primaries tomorrow,

governor, you just win Michigan and Maryland.

You believe in McGovern? For the whole term

of the Democratic nomination as president of the United States.

It's amazing. Just think about it.

National political bigwigs and liberal press

grab me, and I'm all cramping in their pants.

They all the time trying to call me a racist.

You know what?

None of them understand yet.

Racist?

Why all those people have there come over to us

without me even having to say the word race?

People get what I'm talking about.

And be something when it.

We might actually hold off and win this

goddamn thing.

You know where we are, aren't you?

The famous Edmund Pettus Bridge,

where Martin Luther King and his crowd got their asses kicked.

Did finally cross it, though.

Say what?

Nothing.

Well, is there someone sitting back there beside you

like somebody who hadn't learned that long?

As George Wallace is governor of Alabama.

Everything's going to stay just like it's always been.

But it's always some of slow to learn

those handcuffs to talk to you, watch.

Said they just about right.

Gone in.

I'll wait for you here.

Just because you trust you don't mean you ain't still a convicted murderer.

As far as I'm concerned.

And how your family won't mind.

Your mother won't notice.

Thank you.

Hey, have you put.

That pressure before nine.

The Saint Louis.

I'm here to mess around

for the ripping out of all those damn.

Magazines right here.

Thank you very much.

Thank you, thank you everybody.

Everybody, everybody.

Hey. Hey, y'all.

Every word

ends up.

When I'm married.

Hey, y'all.

Wonderful crowd is always glad to be back here in Maryland.

I'm happy to see all our law enforcement.

Oh, God.

We're here today.

The courts now turn and loose

people who shoot and steal and kill.

People get sick of it.

I tell you,

when I'm your president, I promise you you'll be safe anywhere in this country.

Well, anybody?

Is an easy, big time national policy issues.

Like George McGovern

and Richard Milhous Tricky, Dick Nixon.

They all complain.

And are we going to hurt him?

And let me tell you something.

I want to hurt them because they've been hurting us long enough.

We should know how

unimportant nigger woman.

Hey. Hey, boy.

I'll get you one right away. Mark. Yes, yes.

All right.

A lot of stuff.

Now, tonight.

But you got grand coalition.

Damn. If you wouldn't help, would pop.

You thought there was a snake in there somewhere?

Look at that snake over there.

Who has that sweet little girl taking away your breath and kicking a genie here?

Like, Lurleen, God help that little woman.

Oh, come on, she's happy now.

She got the challenge. You got a fish.

And you know she loved to go fishing in that pond up there.

You know, she no trouble at all.

Yeah.

I'd like you to meet this young lady over here.

And if I refuse.

What's your name?

All right, honey, it's such a big crowd.

You better get used to.

That was beautiful, as you do tonight.

We've heard your husband.

He's on the climb to big things.

All right, now he comes with a bit down

We love you.

Go under the bed. Glue him down.

I'll tell you.

Make him the greatest player to come along.

Standards. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Listen, you're ready to go for. God damn.

You better face some reality down.

Who's the little one?

That's his sister's girl.

Not a false.

She showed like a princess already.

Now friends

I believe in the both of. You.

We got a lot to celebrate tonight, guys.

You must be.

Perfect.

Me was running this state. Used to meet. Every four years.

They pick out two candidates for governor, and you can vote for one.

Or you can vote for the other.

That was your God given choice. Ha ha.

But big dance turns on the range.

What you.

And Marius would have been having what?

My good friend, a campaign manager, George Wallace.

I'm gonna guess I'm gonna have to go home

now. Oh.

Amy and George

must know that the big news and the got rocks

are still trying to stop a stone of suspicion among the races.

The same as they always done.

Well, listen. Come on, put your.

Isn't all God's children red, yellow, black, white.

They are just alike and are precious in the sight of the Lord.

Oh, yeah.

And that's the way it's going to stay in Alabama, right?

Back on.

Alabama's still coming up.

The for joy.

Let's go.

It looks great. You all.

Oh. You too good for us here

Billy wasn't a bishop, a barber county.

That's right, Big Jim. And I'm just lonely.

George here for a while.

Don't you begin any trouble now.

Why don't you worry about that?

You know, George, we were fighting a good battle a long time ago.

That's right.

Did you? Yes, ma'am.

She's such a beautiful little girl.

Oh, thank you,

darling,

don't you remember this man's name?

Right here, George Wallace?

Now you got start remembering names

when you move out into public life, which you will, because you also realize

that you have to remember this is George Wallace, okay?

I need to talk to you because you still

have to go.

No, that's not your excuse.

I second, I think I'm

ready to play now.

Like, make way. Right.

No big deal. Yeah. You minutes. George told

me. Oh my George as well as campaign and woken up.

The crowd was.

In the George.

George, I known you since you that

skinny little giblet ass kid back in the legislature.

And he was shot to his pants in cowboy shirts.

Oh, in addition, about 80 bills a week trying to help.

I just everybody had a pulse.

Yeah, somebody was even calling you a dangerous left wing radical.

Yeah, well, that's the country club, I hope.

A large crowd, you know, they always given us trouble.

You know what I'm saying?

Joe. Sit down. Yeah. Sit down.

Yeah.

It ain't too early to be talking about this.

Because I know that as long as I can succeed myself.

And I know that you're going to be one run for governor there.

Okay?

And when that time comes, I'm not going to hear

when you make you go for governor,

I'm going to be behind you 100% all out,

All right.

Only thing is, I'm counting on you to still be balanced.

All those things we always been for equal deal for the common folk.

Just like you did back in legislature.

Yeah.

I ain't ever going to be forgetting none of what we meant for.

But I'm talking about the Negroes to George.

The Negroes, too.

I know the weather out there is getting a little bit stormy.

We got to keep holding on to what's right and

show, you know,

you know, just like everybody else.

You know, I always believe, like you on the colonies, you.

Excuse me.

Oh, yes. Hello.

All I hear is.

Congratulations, governor.

Thank you. Jeremy.

Oh, Georgia,

you really do remind me of my own self starting out,

Georgia is all I want.

Thanks.

Thought it was me, as you believe in a common folk so much.

I mean, so much like you in love with him.

All right.

But I just need you to be at one with the folks

you might need a little bit too much.

So it's almost like Nixon to the folks.

How you feel gives you an a personal meaning.

Like it's all you really feel.

You all yourself.

Will of the people

is where everything come from down at.

Majority of folks ain't ever going to want to do anything that ain't right.

No, George, sometimes they can go both ways.

See, they just like you and me.

They got goodness and meanness in them.

Angel and deep.

Alida can't just be a reflection

leader.

Got to encourage them.

Sometimes I listen to that angel.

I only trust that you want to be scared, to risk

that connection to the people in order to do what's right.

The image.

Well, being in.

There ain't no very strong of a union. Me?

I don't have any doubts about you, George.

You going to be a good in.

Any way.

Don't let him grab on.

Yeah.

Let him.

What's your name? Gospel.

Aren't you, sir?

Yeah. Thank you.

You're welcome.

Oh, you.

Come on, let's go.

Yeah. You get back to Clayton now.

Come on.

All right.

You're not Billy.

Doing over there with Billy.

He's a good to me.

Just one last second.

Jones.

Oh, sweetheart, I never did get your name.

It's communion canal. You.

What a lovely name for such a lovely little girl.

Elaine.

Come on, sweetheart, now you be good,

you hear?

George said.

Said that everything which is fine. Don't.

What do you feeling?

Mean nothing down here.

Just pay.

Your say that everything went just fine.

Who was that shot? Me?

Or some bullet named rebel?

Christ,

if nobody knew nothing of divine request.

You've been following around for weeks.

He's a no. He.

It has gone out. What?

Maryland? Michigan?

Oh, yeah.

I just heard you taking Michigan and Maryland governor. Just like that.

We talked in the kids yesterday morning.

Leave them all now, sir. Oh, honey.

Honey, isn't that fantastic?

You're wonderful.

It's good enough.

Oh. Well,

looks like we got ourselves a new FDA candidate on our hands.

And you kind of leapfrogging ahead of the situation.

We have.

My brother is just been shot.

Almost killed?

Yes, he has a lot of.

And he's he's not going to.

And that is the only thing that can ever stop that man in there.

He's wrong on any damn spur of.

This is was.

I'm afraid you gentlemen will have to wait outside.

No, no, I don't mean I'm his brother.

Damn it, Mrs.

Wallace, first, you hear me? I want to see it.

Come on, Gerald, please.

Let's go back to the way.

Nurse, could you give us a moment, please?

Thanks.

Governor,

I thought you'd want to hear it all straight out now instead of,

you know, how many?

You were shot five times.

Right arm,

left shoulder, abdomen.

The problem is with the fifth bullet

penetrated the spinal column

and severed a bundle of nerves.

As a result.

Do you want to hear this? Now?

Governor,

I'm afraid you're not going to be able to walk again.

No. You got empty.

All right.

He even went on. Just a minute. This one's.

I'm sorry.

Also, governor, you're not going to be able

to control bodily functions.

That means bladder. No.

Sir. Morning.

Set. Him.

On this train, can't you do some things? You.

My mind is killing me.

Of course.

There's another thing.

Other.

I'm afraid you're not going to have another day without pain.

Yeah,

I suffering all of.

Yeah. In know.

Just give me another doctor.

None of us mean to just accept it.

We're doing it.

I'm going to continue to do everything we possibly can.

All right.

I know this campaign had gone down.

Cost. You haven't.

I'll take a hell of a lot more messed up.

You? Yes.

Damn right

I there's hundreds of press down stairs.

I go down and tell them to

come.

Some.

You know, tell them.

Damn.

You're still running full force for press. Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah.

You're only wound in the abdomen.

Nothing's changed.

Your run just dropped.

That's right.

Oh, I'm so proud of you.

Yes. We should've been able to see you.

Barely.

Oh, God damn it!

It almost.

You made it to the big leagues. Now,

your first campaign to government.

This is what we've been waiting for.

And since that's where we first brought you back to the award.

Dropped you off.

Look like a skin grab in front of my family. Yeah.

I'm getting here.

Finally

a little nervous.

You know.

Oh, what the hell are you talking about?

Of course you're nervous.

Racehorse.

Always nervous when he gets in the gate.

But Buford, slow.

And now you go get run.

All right, all.

Day, honey, how are you still working here at the beautiful?

It's good you come in here.

My face now.

Oh, I.

I don't know how you.

I know you had to hear from.

My campaign manager.

But you feel bad for him about it.

I got my speech now.

Fighting a little judged, George.

Call it.

Why? He.

You see a folks here?

Okay.

It's a great day, y'all.

We all known each other all our lives.

Georgia. I grew up in this county.

My granddaddy, he planted mostly pecan trees around here.

Have gone back to while he was a doctor.

He delivered a lot of y'all.

Well, maybe.

And, raising up our three children here

and now from this town of ours out of Marble County.

As of today, I am running for governor in this whole

great state of Alabama.

Because the last four years have been following up there.

I'm a good man, but he can't run again this time.

Don't let me tell y'all what I'm going to do when I get out there.

Your children going to have free textbooks in their schools.

I'm going to build more schools and more junior

colleges and trade.

And nursing homes

and medical clinics and TB hospitals and mental hospitals.

Kind to throw the public welfare program open

to anybody need me?

In Starkville for all the.

There's going to be more for Social Security

and more for the crippled children.

All I've been fighting for since your first step me up to the legislature.

You for the people.

With what government for? Isn't that right?

You. Thank you, Mr.

Mayor.

Now, this.

This fellow here wants to talk to you here in a second.

Since your gets you speaking over.

This is the Klan.

Do your brother some good.

Well, it ain't me.

Whatever it takes to build you more roads and bridges.

Let him pass.

You elect me your governor.

About as many millions as I have to you.

And I'll build you all a bridge straight up in the air.

If you like.

Girls going.

This, That's slick here on national press.

Drought up, down. New York and Washington.

They started calling us Dogpatch folks down here and end up talking like me.

And you ain't got no sense to tie our shoes.

Well, when I'm your girl.

No, I'm going to let them know that the people I represent.

And just as fine and cultured as anybody in this country.

I'm going to make them respect us down here.

I'm going to make you all proud that you were raised

right here in the great state of Alabama. You.

It was a wonderful day

job, just wonderfully.

I love this place so much.

Yeah. Where are we going to be?

Moving on soon, honey,

I think it went pretty good today.

Don't you know it did.

I always does with you when it always goes good.

I got you helping me.

I want you to know that here, now you got away with the people of you own.

That I don't only like a dream house.

I mean that we're leaving everything here for you.

And for what

scares me a little man, we going on a big and better things now, Joe.

You don't remember now living?

No. None of Bama County. Boy.

A short term state trooper turned building supply salesman.

You shop in, and getting around a lot here lately.

I've been out here working for you on my own urge.

In fact, the house fellas

like to see you if you can.

Oh, Joe's.

So. It's been such a long day.

Don't you think?

We should just see

why you want to do me a favor and take the lane and kids home in your car?

Come on, kids, I gotta do some business.

Yeah?

Yeah, you. I'm going to take you home now.

I change my mind, Lane.

I'll be home in a while.

Going in.

Joe's fellas with the Klan.

But I figure that the good old boys won't hurt you.

This is what I got to say.

Man's been rising up strong again all over the state.

He joined Yale all over the South, for that matter.

You got Yale brain.

I know that a Wallace sort of got a feeling

it might be better to have this particular chair at the back of my store.

Then go fetch your friends. Me?

See you in a few minutes.

All right.

George,

all those things you saying out there today?

I didn't hear a single word

about the real trouble. Now,

what's

the legal trouble?

That's the real test for any

can be burned for anything in Alabama these days.

You need to let folks know you back in this in the war for white civilization.

Judge,

you run against John Paulsen.

Got a little bit ahead of you on any issue.

If this morning send.

Patterson promises that his governor of Alabama.

He'll permit absolutely no mongrel mixing of the races

in any way at any time now or tomorrow.

His opponent declines to make that promise.

You know, you read, but all always.

You know.

Well, look at him, boys,

as far as this particular issue is concerned,

I'm for the same thing.

He is only

we got to have decent order about it now.

We can't go right now. Judge.

Let's get one thing straight.

We talking about saving the white race

by any means necessary, not about order

and decency.

Was once you keep it in mind.

We see you on down the road.

But you see?

Hear that?

Judge, we're trying to help you get up there to Montgomery Way.

Maybe you can find something me to do.

Yeah, well, we cross that bridge when we get there.

Savannah.

All right, well, I'm going home.

Good night. Jim.

No, no, no.

Don't see

what started breaking loose here all of a sudden.

You know, we grew up among colored folks.

We got along fine,

you know, but that was back when it was just Happy-Go-Lucky news.

Now the government set out to make us live with them.

Folks ain't gonna stand for that.

I'm really hoping. What?

This fella Patterson, you just got the governor's race with you?

Better than those fellows don't represent hardly nobody but themselves.

They just like wolves run around on the edges of things.

I never did trust Klan.

Any you control, they close the wound, they go up.

Certainly have a thing with violence.

Yeah, but lots of folks coming to feed off a lot like they do once

people get an awful hot on this race thing.

And that's why you got to cut loose from Big Jim.

And everybody's thinking

both him A and Jews is political.

And that's a real trouble, George.

He's as liberal as he ever was on the issue.

Doc, you don't even realize what's been going to happen now is this

highfalutin young nigger preacher up there in Montgomery, this Martin King Luther,

whatever the hell his name is, carrying on that bus boycott mess.

Rice fever is just spread all over the state.

Yeah, but folks in Alabama, they don't want this Klan kind of ugliness.

They want it all worked out orderly

anyhow.

It's just it's just one of them.

Hot wind's going to blow past.

Folks still care more about an even chance

to live decent.

Well, there's one thing I know.

It's the folks.

No way.

Is it looking sort of hopeless

where you and Georgie had to go and openly denounce the Klan.

Now go in, get the support of the ACLU.

The NAACP?

No, Israelites here in the state.

The problem is,

let yourself get out of touch with everybody else.

Out of them. George.

They might be just a bunch you out there who's not a friend.

But I tried to tell you times got intense

and you kept trying to be that nice

hearted young fellow.

He was back there in the legislature.

Didn't distance yourself enough from Big Jim.

With sulfur

out there in the air now can't be compromised.

You got to eat.

Well, way back now, these.

You've got to get back in grace with the people you know.

The only power you.

I really.

I'm so sorry.

I just heard.

Well, maybe there's some good.

I mean, at least now we can head back home, live a normal life.

God damn it, Aileen.

Normal life.

That ain't life.

I just been hit a blow like this.

You want to start getting on me again about our homeless?

It's all I need right now.

Excuse me a minute.

As we speak to a George.

I mean, look, I only meant I've had it.

Have you think you can treat me

and you never even notice?

I love you, honey. I just know I'm kind.

Those strange women keep

showing up, acting like they know you better than I do.

Like they know me.

Who are you talking about?

They ain't nothing. Don't.

It's not even that.

Any way.

It's.

You've hardly lived at home since we were married.

You've left your children almost half orphans.

I don't want them blown up like that just because you did.

You know, I already almost left you once because of this.

And you said you.

Buddies in there to talk me out of it.

This time it's enough.

So what?

This time I'm doing it.

I'm leaving you, Georgia,

to the only thing you ever cared about anyway and ain't got any money.

Now come on.

From the first I knew you had some hunger, some need in you.

I didn't really understand that have been all right.

Only that thing that need made you forget who I am.

Forget us.

Look at me.

Remember what it was just us. Your

and the babies.

You remember that time for your family, George.

Now it's money and power.

Power and money.

That's what counts,

is what you tell the kids you do.

You are no different than all them other ways.

What y'all always saying?

Same old saying fire.

Can't it be like a word?

Why ain't you home, boy?

But it might be enough for you just living at home and for excitement now and then.

Going out there fishing at that tournament.

It's not enough for me.

It never will be enough for me.

Damn, honey.

I'm sorry.

You just don't.

You can't know after losing this vote.

Today is life.

Like I'm just I.

Okay, I just disappear some.

Like I'm not worth nothing.

Nothing to nobody.

Nothing.

Not even to you.

Not you.

Always.

Everything to me. If.

It's just the things

got to change between us.

Some.

I mean, you could

start traveling with me, son.

I'm your son.

I've got to go pick a children

to climb.

Just hang on a little bit, honey.

Don't go off and leave me now.

Don't stay a few too long.

Not I.

Sorry about that, boy.

Ain't the first time.

So she's a good little girl.

She always comes around.

Okay.

Here. Now.

What you always saying?

I know now you all mean

right about this race thing.

Everything's different now, Big Jim.

Just never going on with her.

Folks,

turn that face against him and madam flat out for him.

Don't take me on down with.

You. No.

Me. Big Jim,

we all with.

It was only wrong anyhow.

Niggas hate words.

Why hate niggers?

Everybody's always known that deep down.

All right, boys.

I just let myself get out.

Nigga.

I'm never going to get out again.

Today I have stood where Jefferson Davis stood

and took an oath to my people.

In this day, I feel a deep obligation to renew my pledges.

My covenant with you, the people of this great state.

General Rowley Lee, said

the duty is the most sublime word in the English language,

and I have become increasingly realized what it means.

Can I tell you, my I to you, God help me.

I shall stand up for Alabama.

Yes. Go up there and I'll see you.

Stand with me.

And we together can give courageous leadership to millions of people

throughout this nation who look to the South for their home

in this fight to win and preserve our freedom and liberty.

So help me God.

From this cradle of the Confederacy,

this very heart of the great Anglo-Saxon South, lamb,

today we found the girl of freedom.

Let us rise to the cause of freedom.

Loving love is in this.

In the name of the greatest people that have ever tried this affair.

I draw the line in the dust

and toss the garment before the feet of tyranny.

And I say, segregation now, segregation

tomorrow, and segregation by.

This morning, on this really cold judgment

day as Alabama's new governor.

Oh, okay.

I think

try and go to sleep early is so tired.

I love you, sweetheart.

And if you can, with all that noise here on stand.

Don't look okay.

Yeah.

Like a blue perfect queen.

I'm nothing that fancy. It's a waltz.

Well, in

Alabama, governor's wife.

That's even better.

We made it heaven with George.

Yeah. Know, I reckon we have.

It does look a lot like the governor's mansion to me. No,

I mean us.

I did hang on.

And you have gotten what you always wanted.

And I did support you because you wanted it so much.

We've survived.

Even me.

We're celebrating all new election tonight.

We're celebrating us.

I just hope you know, though.

You're not going to be

having that much time to go out there fishing at that pond.

Oh, yes, I will.

You're not taking that away from me, George Wallace.

Only place I know in a piece.

You don't mean.

That's

what I am

with.

Don't mean?

This is a little different than the first time you played.

But you remember who you are now.

You know, I'm still the 16 year old girl behind a cosmetics counter.

Prince's dime store.

Hey, pretty girl.

My name is George Wallace,

and I want my model Harrell.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, I'm about to go into the Army and.

You want to go to the picture show with me Saturday night?

I'm thinking you got the masses.

No, I

you could stand to eat a little more.

You so skinny.

You are such a fatty little thing.

I think I'm already fallen in love with you, sweetie.

And I think. You.

Well, now.

That's going on in my life, Miss Mills.

Told.

You. Not.

Now you can see me about at night.

You could yell at me.

Would make me want. When I need y'all with me now.

Yes. It'll be there.

Where's my wife?

She said to the cheering of.

Can I get you something?

And, bring me a glass of buttermilk.

My time to turn in here.

Yes, sir.

Ha! What?

Yes, your.

Okay.

What's that you're drinking?

Lincoln.

Drinking at the mansion's against the rules now.

All right, well, the rules are made for niggers.

White trash, not for me.

You know them?

Hey, where do you think my new state police

command,

Let me go to all this finery.

I do appreciate it, governor.

Me and all the boys appreciate you.

I'm counting on you now.

You got it.

All right?

Right.

I don't need y'all staying around me now.

Soda.

My unofficial kitchen cabinet

is going to get going on right away.

It looks like that Martin Luther King's already

stirring up another insurrection up there in Birmingham.

He got all them niggas still involved in it.

Now I ain't got no shame.

Don't worry.

I tend to his ass for you, governor.

I always dreamed we'd have a chance like this back when it was Judge Wallace.

Yeah,

he's trying to test me.

That's what he's doing.

We going to settle his ass real fast.

I need y'all in my office first thing in the morning.

7:00. Well, yeah. Okay.

Wallace, baby, get me a good night's sleep.

All right, governor George.

Good night.

I. I seen you before.

You know.

Was Folsom's inaugural when it.

You used.

What's your name again?

Aren't you, sir?

Aren't you with us

in trustee?

How long?

Since in 1952.

Who'd you open?

Killed? Man,

he was messing with my wife.

And, What were you doing before I had to work in.

Of what? I was a five, sir. All right.

Any good

one? 16.

Most want.

Yeah.

You know, I'm box once for myself.

Golden gloves Alabama bantamweight champion.

And I guess

all those firings got hot.

Tempers.

Yes, sir.

And see how good you are.

Good. I have to clean up.

Oh, come on, come on.

Just a second or two.

Go at it.

Just a little.

No place for, you know.

Come on.

That's.

One time.

I'm very

not of a high school boxing tournament.

You can save this little color, boy.

So a couple of white roughnecks thinking, oh.

Everything was broke.

My hand

lost my fight, and I.

Tell you what.

You can help me get back in shape.

You for that?

Yes, sir.

Yeah.

Kind of me getting old, man.

That.

I'll get up early. My.

Now is when the real stuff again.

We are on the move now.

Yes, sir.

Like an idea whose time has come.

Just.

Just now that even the marching a mighty army can hold.

All the world today knows that we are here.

And we are standing before the forces of power in the state of Alabama.

Ain't gonna let nobody turn us around.

Oh, you only started running

again in Birmingham. Now, why don't you get up there

with your troopers and do what you got to do?

I'll just damn well slap them under martial law.

Yes, sir.

Okay. What?

It's not far, ma'am.

All black.

Martin Luther

King and his group of pro communists have instigated

these demonstrations by lawless Negro mobs in Birmingham.

But the law abiding citizens of both races,

they are fed up with this rioting and disruption, led

by so-called clergymen and their communists inspired followers.

I am therefore sending 250 state troopers into that city,

supported by 500 other law officers of this state.

I will meet our enemies face to face.

I will not surrender.

I wonder.

Yeah, that's what I'm gonna need.

Three more foster boys down here. Because I'm running.

You know,

I keep. Up.

You might.

Make the real purpose of what you've been doing in Birmingham.

Couldn't your defiance dare spark a major escalation of racial violence

in this state and all over the South?

No, I don't believe so. No, not at and not at all.

The action I took in Birmingham was to maintain law and order

and to prevent violence.

Now we have a system.

They use the water, they use the dogs.

But now only 22 people in 45 days, 22 Negroes and 45

they have been injured and not a single one. Seriously.

Simply speaking, more generally, governor, seems like you are.

All men here are especially fond of using cattle prod.

Yeah, that's that's correct, that's right.

Electric cattle prods.

And I would like to tell you that we have no apologies for using electric

cattle prod for the simple reason that they are harmless.

And when you have in one of these demonstrations, a cattle prod

is a lot better than putting in tear gas and hitting people with nightsticks,

thinking, governor,

you say you're only representing the will and feelings of the people of Alabama.

Do you mean not to include the Negro community here?

Well, of course, the system under which we operate in this country,

the minority viewpoint is certainly considered.

But, I'm expressing the sentiments of the over whelming

majority of the people in my state.

The white people?

You mean the majority?

Yes. That's correct.

Looky here.

Look at all the folks been writing me in here

from all over places like, Montana,

Ohio, California, Michigan, Idaho, even now.

Look at all the folks I got in here.

No matter that it looks as if you're moving into a confrontation

with the federal government over these two Negro students

who have applied for admission to the University of Alabama.

Now, in this case, can you tell us what you could expect?

Just what I promised in my campaign for good.

Any attempt to integrate any schools in Alabama?

I shall stand in that schoolhouse door to to resist that.

That's what I said, and that's what I meant.

You mean that literally?

They didn't have.

Y'all excuse me?

Mean what

time you got

to go right back?

What's so urgent about a call from the attorney general,

Richmond Flowers, the attorney general

of the United States.

Bobby Kennedy

says he needs to talk to you about this pending problem

at the University.

You tell him.

Governor's busy with the press conference.

He wants to come back later.

The governor might be a little busy.

We ain't transacting this thing.

That phone to Washington? No, sir. Sure.

Okay.

Hold on.

He says he

don't know why you won't talk to him.

Okay?

You just tell him.

I just plain don't want to hurt his feelings here.

It's too bad, isn't it?

George Wallace, stand in the schoolhouse door

against the mighty power of the federal government.

That'll make him sit up and take notice all over this country.

Not to make him bring troops in this state.

Now we're talking. You what?

You going to have to put out a ban on the military occupation or

we're going to set the stage on this one.

Bobby Kennedy wants to talk to me.

You're going to have to come down here.

Welcome to Alabama.

Thank you.

You know, I'm his own man, the bootlegger.

He does run that. Oh. Damn it.

Thank you so much.

Oh, Mr. Attorney General. Hello.

I have an animal. Thank you, Sergeant.

This is my handyman, Archie Wells.

He's, He's about the biggest fan y'all got down here.

Ain't that right, Archie?

Yessir.

Hello?

This is Deputy Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach.

Pleasure to meet, governor, I got a few fellas. Main

due out on one of my close battles.

Closer.

Thank you. Bricklayer. You and my press secretary.

And, Emily Watson is sort of my senior advisor.

Hello.

Well, governor, you've got quite a crowd outside, too.

This morning.

We. Well, I don't know, came up the back way.

Y'all have a seat,

Mr. Attorney General.

Thank you.

For me.

Do you recognize him?

Taping this conversation.

We might want to save this for posterity.

Well, I don't know anybody who would want to listen to it, governor.

Well, you know, people in this state feel like us talking to you folks who have

so much

charm and wit.

You going to get us in a compromising position.

But we're glad to have you in Alabama.

And we feel like this is the courtesy capital of the nation.

So, you want to pay a courtesy visit? We,

Well, this is the courtesy capital of the world in Iraq.

Yes, sir.

Yes, yes. Yeah.

Well, terrific.

But I wonder if we might talk about

the problem of integration we are perhaps facing at the university.

I don't hear a good,

do many bombing missions over Japan in integration of the university.

Oh, you want to discuss that?

Well,

Oh, yeah, my guess so.

Well, do you think it would be so horrifying

to have a Negro attend the university?

Well, I think it's horrifying for the federal courts

and the central government to force upon the people that which they don't want.

Yes. Y'all want to go?

I might have one.

How about you?

No. Thank you.

Boys.

All right. RG

bringing four bottles of Coke.

Yes, sir.

Getting back to this,

what's going to happen with this attempt to integrate the university

course?

Now, you folks are the ones who will, control that matter

because you have control of the troops.

Well, we we do have a responsibility to ensure with all the force

behind the federal government that the orders of the court have followed,

I know that I know you're going to use all of force the federal government,

just like you did over there in Mississippi at Ole Miss

last fall to get that, James man, fella enrolled there.

Effect. What you're telling me,

if necessary, you're going to bring troops in Alabama, too?

No I did not say that Gomer.

You did well.

You did say oh

well the force of federal government and all the force includes troops known.

It just just like an old miss all old bayonets and all.

Well I planning and hoping that won't be necessary.

Governor.

Maybe somebody here wants us to use.

You seem to want me to say that I'm going to use troops.

Well, you did say that.

You you.

You said.

And no, governor, you are the one talking about force.

Yeah.

Thank you.

We trying to do,

a lot of real things for the,

Negro people down here, you know, give them jobs,

education.

But all his agitation and all his business, Martin Luther

King was a phony and a fraud, marching and going to jail and all that.

They,

they just living high on the hall now.

But now,

if you could use your influence, because and normal ACP

and all those other groups, you know, they, they feel like you people,

almost, guards,

if you could just exert some influence

to persuade those people to stop this integration movement,

this business of margin, for instance, if you could

persuade these people trying to get into

the University of Alabama to withdraw their applications.

Governor, that would be not a right nor possible

just to, to use our persuasive

power on the other side, you saying.

Yes. That's right.

Because I'm not for you using, persuasive

power on us to integrate.

I'm against integration.

I just don't believe in social and educational mixing.

And I think I've made it clear that what's involved for us

President Kennedy, is the integrity and the orders of the court.

Governor.

I'll sit here.

Come on.

On. And, boys.

Yeah.

I'm ready for this, sir,

I am in in the ringing of the whole country.

What?

Governor,

I don't know what the purpose of this show is.

I'm simply here to see that the orders of the court to enforce.

I'm asking that you step aside and permit these students who, after all, merely

want an education at a great university, for you to make a speech.

Just make your statement.

I was making my statement, governor.

I was in the process of making my statement.

I'm asking you for unequivocal assurance

that you will not bar these students.

As governor of the state of Alabama,

George Wallace Raymond, my solemn duty

to stand before you and seeking to preserve and maintain the peace

and dignity of this state and the individual freedoms of the citizens.

They are do hereby denounce and forbear

this illegal, unwarranted, and force induced intrusion upon the campus

of the University of Alabama by the man of the sea, in fulfillment,

the governor.

I take it from your statement that you intend to stay in the doorway.

I stand by my state.

You stand by your statement.

Governor James Hood and Vivian Malone will register today,

and they will go to school here tomorrow.

You, keep the press home in here.

They're going to have to federalize the Alabama National Guard. Now.

They don't. Oh.

It is my sad duty to ask you to step aside.

Under orders from the president of the United

States.

Therefore, for this

unwarranted federalization of National Guard,

I would be your man.

And she.

Is a bitter pill to swallow.

We shall now tournament gunnery

to continue this constitutional fight.

We are confronted primarily with a moral issue.

It is as old as the scriptures and is as clear as the American Constitution.

The heart of the question is

whether all Americans are to be afforded equal rights

and equal opportunities.

Whether we are going to treat our fellow Americans as we want to be treated.

If an American, because his skin is dark,

cannot eat lunch in a restaurant open to the public,

if he cannot send his children

the best public school available,

if he cannot vote for the public officials who represent him, if, in short,

he cannot enjoy the full and free life which all of us want,

and who among us would be content

have the color of his skin changed instead of his place?

Who among us would then be content

with the counsels of patience and delay?

100 years of delay of past

President Lincoln freed the slaves,

yet there is grandson and not fully free.

They are not yet freed from the bonds of injustice.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy

and his little brother Bobby.

And his name

caught on of what really happened over there today.

A couple of niggas got registered, but it don't matter.

As I stood in the doorway against the full force

of the federal government

and millions of Americans stood with me, Kennedy.

They got no idea.

The common, ordinary folks all over this country

really feel about this race makes him question.

They start catching this mess up north

and Wales going to southern as a whole country out there,

going to make what's happening in Alabama

seem like a Sunday school picnic.

George Callie Wallace.

Shawn, I've got a lot to say about that.

And I think times can really.

I'm going national.
