I always bring up George Wallace when discussing this point. Yes, "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever", that George Wallace. In the late 70's he had a "come to Jesus" moment. He realized that everything he had stood for was woefully wrong and spent the rest of his life speaking AGAINST segregation and FOR civil rights. When re-elected governor of Alabama in 1983, he "appointed a record number of black Americans to state positions,[84] including, for the first time, two as members in the cabinet."I am thankfully a far different human being than the one I was when I was 18. I am thankful most of my friends have forgiven me for my transgressions of the past. I was a hard right winger when I was young. I am a left leaning after years of growing up and I hope the people can forgive me. People can change .
