(CIVIL RIGHTS.) GEORGE WALLACE. "We Dare Defend Our Rights" (motto of the State of Alabama). Broadside Extra from the Watumpka Herald, 22 x 16 inches, printed in three columns, with a black border; the cheap pulp news-print paper evenly darkened. Wetumpka, AL: White Citizens Council, 19 August 1964
a rare survival from the period of the white citizens' councils and george wallace's ascension in southern politics.'Tell your State Legislators Eyeball to Eyeball the Long Overdue and now Essential Legislation: The Alabama Civil Riots Prevention Acts of 1964.' The play on Civil Rights (Civil Riots) smacks of Wallace's particular brand of speech; and indeed this entire text was delivered as a speech by Wallace before the State Senate on August 4, 1964. In the end, the schools in Alabama were integrated, and the school bussing that Wallace hated so much helped facilitate it.
