- George Wallace's 1963 Inaugural Address
George Wallace's 1963 Inaugural Address was delivered January 14, 1963, following his election as Governor of Alabama. [ [http://www.archives.state.al.us/govs_list/inauguralspeech.html 1963 Inaugural Addressof Governor George C. Wallace] , Alabama Department of Archives and History] Wallace at this time in his career was an ardent segregationist, and prompted by a federal law passed in 1962 that prohibited segregation in public schools, he would challenge the federal government's attempt to desegregate Alabama during most of his political career. This speech is perhaps most famous for the phrase "...Segregation Now, Segregation Tomorrow, Segregation Forever." An aide named Asa Carter, a KKK member and anti-semite, wrote this line into the speech. Wallace would later in life apologize for his unabashed racism and segregationist policies.
