Paradox In The Georgia Governorship Of Lester Maddox
The 53 year old Lester Maddox, once a segregation symbol, has ruled two months as Georgia governor showing contradictions between compassion for the poor and opposition to poverty programs, harsh views of the federal government, and wary moderation. He pledges education focus, raises teacher salaries, and keeps tight control on aides while facing mixed legislative results and rising African American appointments. He condemns communists and rights activists yet permits Negroes in state offices and drafts boards, while maintaining strong security during civil rights tensions. He conducts Little People’s Day monthly to hear citizen problems. He faced reaction to King’s death with guarded maneuvers and National Guard precautions without shutting the Capitol.
