Best Answer

George Wallace was a polarizing figure in local and national politics due to his violent anti-black / pro-segregation policies. His support of such like-minded racists as Sheriff Bull Connor who turned firehoses and dogs on peaceful anti-segregationist marchers in Selma, Al, served to focus the world's attention on America's dysfunctional race relations.
