This seven-minute video introduces students to the politics of white backlash against the civil rights movement by chronicling the rise of Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace, the most vocal defender of segregation during the 1960s and early 1970s. After losing his first gubernatorial campaign for being too moderate on racial issues, Wallace shifted his positions to suit the increasingly anti-integration views of his constituents, only to shift back to moderation and reconciliation in the late 1970s after political winds had changed. Useful for lessons focused on the evolving racial politics of the 60s and 70s, the video shows students how desegregation and the civil rights movement led to a tumultuous reshuffling of American politics.
