Wallace For President Stand Up

Alabama Governor George Wallace is remembered for his resistance to the 1960s civil rights movement.  He ran for U.S. President in 1968 on an independent ticket and won nearly 13% of the ballots cast, or about 10 million votes.  Wallace is famous for saying, "I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny, and I say, segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever."
