    Alabama17th annual Writers Symposium & Sinners SaintsApril 24-26, 2014 • Monroeville, Alabama www.WritersSymposium.org Alabama17th annual Writers Symposium Saints & Sinners Join Us In Beautiful Monroeville, Alabama, April 24-26, 2014 with Koethi Zan, Charles McNair, Sena Jeter Naslund and more! Explore the theme “Saints and Sinners” – to challenge your preconceived ideas of good and evil, of real and imagined places, and of where you believe stories begin and end. The lively weekend of literary offerings features readings, signings, an award-winning production of To Kill a Mockingbird, the renowned Readers’ Theatre performed by Alabama’s best and presentation of the 2014 Harper Lee Award for Alabama’s Distinguished Writer and the 2014 Eugene Current-Garcia Award for Alabama’s Distinguished Literary Scholar. From Koethi Zan’s timely and explosive tale of women trapped in a torturer’s basement to Charles McNair’s centenarian runaway, we explore survival, salvation, and the need to seek revenge and redemption. Saints and sinners are familiar themes in Alabama’s stories and songs, but this year’s artists find modern perspectives through poetry, personal history, fiction, and film. You’ll be held captive by Sandra Jaffe’s documentary about racially divided schools performingTo Kill a Mockingbird fifty years after its publication, and wonder if it’s okay to laugh when Andrew Hudgins admits that he simply cannot stop telling bad, old jokes. Widows and Wallace-era politics resurface in Robert Inman’s The Governor’s Lady, and Glenn Feldman looks at The Irony of the Solid South. Sena Jeter Naslund and Roy Hoffman share the stories of those we love and those left behind.

  • 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.

  • GEORGE WALLACE, SPEECH at SERB HALL (26 March 1976)
    Voices of Democracy 11 (2016): 44-70 Hogan 44 GEORGE WALLACE, SPEECH AT SERB HALL (26 March 1976) J. Michael Hogan The Pennsylvania State University Abstract This essay seeks to account for the persuasive appeal of George C. Wallace’s campaign rally addresses. The firebrand southern governor and perennial presidential candidate drew a large national following in the late 1960s and early 1970s with speeches that defied all the rules and norms of presidential politics. Yet they invoked passionate commitment within an especially disaffected segment of the American electorate. Utilizing survey date, this essay challenges the conventional portrait of Wallace and the Wallacites, demonstrating that Wallace’s appeal was rooted not so much in conservative politics as in feelings of political alienation, persecution, and pessimism. Accounting for the Wallace phenomenon in terms of a classic, Hofferian theory of social protest, the essay concludes by reflecting on the parallels between Wallace and Donald J. Trump’s 2016 presidential election. Keywords: George C. Wallace, presidential campaigns, campaign rallies, political disaffection, true believers. In 1964, George Wallace became a national figure when he launched his first campaign for the presidency with little money, no campaign organization, and an impressive array of critics and adversaries in the media, the churches, the labor movement, and the political mainstream.1 Surprising almost everybody, he showed remarkable strength in northern Democratic primaries and focused attention on his favorite target: the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In 1968, Wallace faced the same barriers and more. His decision to run as a third-party candidate added the challenge of a political system rigged to favor the two major-party candidates.2 Despite those obstacles, Wallace tallied 10 million votes—the most popular votes ever for a third party candidate in U.S.
