Amazing how the press conference sticks to the subject at hand. No stupid questions about bull$#@! that has no value. Where have those kind of events gone???

[@BravoSixGoingDark]

Key differences: No internet, social media in the 60s

[@TheAsujaguar]

I would have loved to have seen LBJ give George Wallace the "Johnson Treatment" over the violence at Selma.

[@Narmer61]

True MrDavis...The difference being in those days ,the demonstrators were decent,intelligent,loving, people....
I was there...today’s whiners have little if anything in common with the civil rights marchers of the 60s.

[@rose080891]

if you were truly there you would know that there were plenty of riots during the civil rights movement era and many riots after protests and demonstrations.

ACTUALLY WALLACE WAS RIGHT ABOUT MANY THINGS. JOHNSON CAUSED RIOTS IN WASHINGTON, WATTS DETROIT. THIS WAS THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF JOHNSON.

[@oldclip70]

William Casey, total nonsense!! When Wallace was in that wheelchair and started thinking, he knew things had to change. Johnson didn’t cause riots (uprisings), it was the other Johnson (Andrew, that is!!) that didn’t follow through Reconstruction.

[@maxB2262]

Johnson didn’t caused riots

[@TOMsideways-nt6tx]

Wallace was the greatest president of all times

[@peterm1826]

Wallace was never a president but he was a racists

[@cplus.marines6664]

He had a change of heart later in life . Lester Maddox on other hand was a character.

[@larrywheels762]

lbj was a great song and dance man- him and Wallace ,2 southern political bosses playing a civil rights poker game. Wallace would compromise for a fellow southerner, but that yankee kennedy ,got the backhand and Wallace brought out the klan. for lbj he gave a little- protecting the civil rights of black americans in Alabama had the federal govt involved. it was necessary.

[@andrewdancy2849]

larry wheeler Rubbish!! He was an all AllAmerican president, revered in my daddy's household by both of my parents & my sisters & I song & dance me arse!! I am black proud & conservative

[@liecrusher3506]

Just read Wallace' inaugural address in 1963.
He knew what was needed for the black man.
