My Take

George Wallace is a figure I cannot write about lightly. A former boxer turned lawyer turned Alabama's longest-serving governor, his life is woven into some of the most painful chapters of American history. I will not dress that up. What strikes me, though, is the sheer tenacity of the man, the way he clawed his way from rural Clio to four terms in office. As an editor, I believe history is best served by looking at such people clearly, neither glorifying nor erasing them. Wallace embodied an era's contradictions, and reckoning honestly with that legacy matters more than any easy verdict.
