In the 1960s, George Wallace, the Governor of Alabama, became a prominent figure in the American Civil Rights Movement by staunchly opposing racial integration. He is best known for his "Stand in the Schoolhouse Door" in 1963, where he attempted to block the enrollment of African American students at the University of Alabama, symbolizing the resistance to desegregation. Wallace's actions and rhetoric were emblematic of the broader struggle against civil rights in the South during this period.
