That may be true, but a little known fact is the Wallace OWNED the black vote in Alabama. He was more popular among the black population than the white (and he was genuinely adored by whites, as well). His percentage of the black vote in his gubanatorial races was astounding, but I cannot recall exactly how high. Something like 70% consistently. The media outside Alabama, of course, NEVER reports this. We're all supposed to hate the little bigot, you understand.
