So this is the moment where we really see his first stance as sort of a hardline segregationist, and where we start to see this rhetoric that is going to make him a notable figure, not only in alabama politics, but in National Politics. Elections in d. C. Is distressing and revealing. We will not sacrifice our children to any such School System and you can write that down.

Increases in education, the establishment of Community Colleges around the state that would be accessible to individuals who cannot afford to go to the university of alabama, but they could attend the Community College for a couple of years, maybe get a tech degree or whatever.
