[GPSCC-chat] Homeless Deaths

[Spencer Graves]

Dear Brian:


       I especially liked, "go kill yourself":  Clearly, you connected 
with him.  With luck, he'll be like George Wallace:  In 1963, Wallace 
said, "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever".[1]  
In the late 1970s, he apologized to African-Americans and actively 
sought their votes.  In his last term as governor of Alabama 
(1983-1987), he appointed more blacks to public office than any previous 
governor.[2]


       Best Wishes,
       Spencer


p.s.  The Wikipedia article on George Wallace seems to provide a 
balanced summary of his life.  He was never a flaming liberal. However, 
he started political life an a fierce racist and ended as an active 
supporter of integration, at least in Alabama state government appointed 
positions.
