Quote of the Day
Nothing in life means anything unless someone cares, and the whole trick is to keep being that someone.

This Day in History
May 15, 1972: Alabama Governor George Wallace is shot. During an outdoor rally in Laurel, Maryland, George Wallace, the governor of Alabama and a presidential candidate, is shot by 21-year-old Arthur Bremer. Three others were wounded, and Wallace was permanently paralyzed from the waist down. The next day, while fighting for his life in a hospital, he won major primary victories in Michigan and Maryland. On June 8, Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman elected to Congress and one of Wallace’s opponents for the Democratic nomination, famously visited him in the hospital to wish him well. He remained in the hospital for several months, bringing his third presidential campaign to an irrevocable end.
Wallace, one of the most controversial politicians in U.S. history, was elected governor of Alabama in 1962 under an ultra-segregationist platform. In his 1963 inaugural address, Wallace promised his white followers: “Segregation now! Segregation tomorrow! Segregation forever!” However, the promise lasted only six months. In June 1963, under federal pressure, he was forced to end his blockade of the University of Alabama and allow the enrollment of African American students.
