Common card · No. 363434

Following his election as the governor of Alabama, George Wallace delivered an inaugural address on January 14, 1963, at the state capitol in Montgomery. At this time in his career, Wallace was an ardent segregationist, and as governor he challenged the attempts of the federal government to enforce laws prohibiting racial segregation in Alabama's public schools and other institutions. The speech is most infamous for the phrase "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, and segregation forever", which became a rallying cry for those opposed to integration and the civil rights movement.
