George Wallace

George Wallace

Alabama governor who ran for president in 1968 as a third party candidate on the American Independent ticket. His message rejecting forced racial integration, the activities of radical college students, and the perceived national drift toward the left appealed to many working class Americans, and he received 13. 5 percent of that election's vote.
