The redemption 's life of Georges Wallace

I watched the movie named Georges Wallace. He had been the governor of Alabama four times from 1963 until 1987 with some pause.
In that movie, you perceive what meant to be Black in a south state like Alabama in the sixties and seventies. At the beginning of his political life in the democratic party (you imagine, the same than Obama), he wasn't in bond with the Ku Klux Klan. Anyhow, to win this state, he had to take position. He had been after a big voice for segregation to continue. He opposed in 1963 two black people to enter the university of Alabama ; Bobby Kennedy, John's brother, of the Supreme Court came to visit him and told him he had no choice by federal law...
In 1963 four little black girls were killed in front of a church in Birmingham, Alabama. Birmingham was the town of the beginning of the pastor Martin Luther King.

In a policical meeting in 1971, he had been wounded and he was paralyzed after this accident.
Years later he had apologized for his position against the civil rights movement, he begged the black people their pardon. He was reelected as a goverbor of Alabama in 1983 with some voices of black people.
Crazy life ...
