Governors Amongst the Racists.

- A 50th Anniversary Retrospective of The 1970 Alabama Democratic Primary.

Bag om Governors Amongst the Racists.

George Wallace. Albert Brewer. Titan. Reformer. Past. Future. Rage. Hope. Devolution. Evolution. Though there are many words to describe it all, the 1970 Alabama Gubernatorial Primary was an election unlike any election seen before...or since. This was no modern democratic election. This was a blood match...the one with the most teeth left at the sound if the bell would be declared the winner. Sound backward? This was Alabama. It was almost as if the Civil Rights Movement had never happened. Maybe it hadn't. Integration was still almost nonexistent. Though some folks wanted change, most still didn't. Politicians were more than happy to pander to the fears of the masses. Time and again, fear had proven to be the only strategy worth employing. Courage was seen as weakness. In the midst of such lunacy, the election commenced.
