    • 1974, United States Congress, Congressional Record: Proceedings and Debates:
      The defeat of Lester Maddox, whose try for a second term as governor was decisively blocked in the recent Georgia Democratic primary, confirms that “outniggering the opposition," as Wallace once put it, is no longer a sufficient strategy
    • 2000, Nick Cohen, “The Holocaust as show business”, in New Statesman:
      The PM's culpability will not stop him attending the ceremony; nor will the Asylum Act deter Straw from showing up.

      As a federal judge in the 1950s, Wallace developed a reputation for fairness and tolerance—relative to the norms of Alabama at the time—and the NAACP endorsed his first gubernatorial campaign in 1958.
