George Wallace and His Circle
PBS Shows Video TV Schedules Shop Donate ' Join the Conversation Major funding provided by SUPPORT PROVIDED BY: LEARN MORE GEORGE WALLACE: SETTIN' THE WOODS ON FIRE | ARTICLE George Wallace and His Circle Share: George Wallace Asa Carter Determined to "outnigger" the opposition in his 1962 bid for governor, George Wallace turned to the politics of race with a new ﬁery speechwriter, Asa Carter. Carter, a right-wing radio announcer and founder of his own Ku Klux Klan organization, was a man with a dark, troubling past. "He had a long history of violence, in fact, it’s not an exaggeration to call him something of a kind of psychopath," says Wallace biographer Dan Carter. Asa Carter had shot two men in a dispute over money just a few years before joining Wallace’s campaign, and his Klan group shared his volatile temperament. "In one eighteen-month period," recounts Dan Carter in his George Wallace biography, "his followers joined in the stoning of Autherine Lucy on the University of Alabama campus, assaulted black singer Nat King Cole on a Birmingham stage, beat Birmingham civil rights activist Fred Shuttlesworth and stabbed his wife, and, in what was billed as a warning to potential black ‘trouble-makers,’ castrated a randomly-chosen, slightly retarded black handyman." Political observers noted a new punch in Wallace’s stump speeches during the ‘62 campaign, and Carter was credited for the change. "[Asa Carter] was this little quiet guy who always looked like he needed a shave," remembers Alabama journalist Wayne Greenhaw. "He was a hell of a writer.

Walter De Vries: <E±Stma-F^W*** •
Interview with Bill Baxley, attorney general of Alabama, July 9, 197^, conducted by Jack Bass and Walter De Vries, transcribed by Linda Killen. Baxley:—he had a lot of human feelings. A lot of us have, I reckon. Kept him from doing a lot of it, but at least he really, honestly be lieved in what he said and he said it at a time when it was unpopular. So I've been a fan of his a long time. Really kind of a tragic figure. Walter De Vries: <e±stma-f^W*** • Baxley: Yeah. W.D.V.: How's he doing now? Baxley: Oh, he's penniless. Lives on a little pension that Wallace got passed for him. Doesn't pay any bills. They even took his tele phone out of his house. Sad, tragic figure. W.D.V.: Did he do any campaigning? Baxley: Oh, as a joke he puts his name on a ballot. Just a little joke. Really. .. to goad Wallace. W.D.V.: What did your father do? Baxley$ He was a lawyer and a circuit judge down in south Alabama. Very nonpolitical. He was a student of the law. Real, old scholar. Didn't know anything about politics. Didn't care anything about it. Hated the fact that I was interested in it. W.D.V.: How did you get involved in it? Baxley: Well, when I was a kid the only two things I wanted to be was either a major league baseball player or a politician. And I found out I might not be a good politician, but I'm a better politician than I was a ball player, I reckon.
