Welcome to Part II of The History of Politics Podcast! Joining the show again today is Professor Adam Stone, an associate professor of political science at the Alpharetta Campus of Georgia State University’s Perimeter College. He and Craig sit down this time to discuss another 50th anniversary – this time for the assassination attempt of Alabama Governor and Presidential candidate George Wallace.
Professor Stone and Craig discuss the political events of the era that led up to the attempt and the political consequences afterward. Wallace was and continues to be a controversial figure in American politics, but his story and the events of that fateful day are important and interesting none the less.
