The correct answer is I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny...and I say... segregation today...segregation tomorrow...segregation forever.

This speech, given by Wallace in 1963, was focused on the continued segregation of white and black citizens within his state of Alabama. As governor of Alabama, Wallace promised he would do everything he could to keep the races separated. One example of this was the stand he took in front of the admissions office at the University of Alabama when two black students tried to enroll at this college. Up until this time, no black student had ever attended the University of Alabam. His goal was to keep it that way. However, his plans did not go well as the federal government intervened and ensured the two black students were enrolled into this university.
