George Wallace: The Voice of White Resentment
In 1972, Alabama Governor George Wallace ran for president and tapped into a strain of white resentment towards Civil Rights legislation and court-mandated bussing. When he was shot on the campaign trail, President Nixon saw an opportunity to derail Wallace’s surging political momentum and embarrass the Democratic Party. With never before heard White House audio, Long Shots uncovers a little-known criminal conspiracy hatched a month before the bungled break-in at the Watergate Hotel.
