Wallace Gains Black Support Claim Questioned
Washington reports on George Wallace's May 7 Alabama primary showing and whether blacks backed him. Emory O. Jackson of the Birmingham World disputes broad black backing, estimating only 7 to 9 percent of black ballots, with mixed results across Alabama communities.
Wallace’s Alabama Black Support Study Challenges Hype
Jackson notes that Wallace drew limited black support in Alabama despite national press claims. In Hobson City he won 74 percent but 7 percent in Roosevelt City. 32 percent in Tuskegee and 8.5 percent in four Jefferson County black precincts. Wallace gained some black backing from unions and teachers, yet overall black votes were not as strong as reported. The strategist aims to soften his segregationist image for a 1976 White/Black voter appeal and national convention leverage.
