'''George Wallace''' (August 25, 1919 - September 13, 1998) was a pro-[[segregation]]ist governor of [[Alabama]]. He gained national attention by "standing in the schoolhouse door" to stop the integration of Alabama schools (then he stepped aside).  He ran unsuccessfully for president four times, three times seeking the Democratic party nomination, (1964, 1972, 1976), and once running as an independent (1968). He carried blue collar white southerners and rural white southerners in the [[United States presidential election, 1968]], but his appeal to blue collar northern Democrats was blunted by labor unions who vehemently attacked him as a dangerous and reckless racist demagogue.
