Governor George Wallace opposed the integration of the University of Alabama primarily due to his commitment to maintaining segregation and upholding states' rights. He believed that allowing Black students to enroll would undermine the social order he sought to protect and defy federal mandates that he viewed as intrusive. Wallace famously declared "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever" during his inaugural address, reflecting his staunch resistance to civil rights advancements. His actions were emblematic of the broader struggle against desegregation in the South during the Civil Rights Movement.
