George Wallace was a prominent and controversial American politician who served as the Governor of Alabama for four terms. He is best known for his staunch segregationist views and his resistance to the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. His infamous 1963 "Stand in the Schoolhouse Door" at the University of Alabama symbolized his opposition to desegregation. Despite his initial segregationist stance, Wallace later recanted his views and sought forgiveness from African Americans. He ran for president multiple times, achieving significant support in the South, and his political career spanned decades, leaving a lasting impact on American politics and race relations.
