Last election Wallace was elected with the Black Vote—he did a great deal for race relation toward the end—he wasn’t always a Dixiecrat-Democrat.

He might have, I know he stated he was wrong on race division. But for the Politico to write what they did was a flat out re-write of history.

Last election Wallace was elected with the Black Vote ... he wasn’t always a Dixiecrat-Democrat.

No, but he was always a New Dealer all the way back, and only picked up racial themes after being beaten in an election in which his opponent (and the Media) made them the whole issue.
