The following segments are included:
0:00:02: George Wallace speaking at a rally at County Hall in Charleston, South Carolina, on June 18, 1968. In his remarks, he derides both anarchists ("you elect me president . . . and I go to California and a group of anarchists lay down in front of my automobile, it's going to be the last one they ever want to lie down in front of") and communists ("I want an indictment sought against every professor in this country making a speech calling for communist victory, and I want to see them put on a good federal jail somewhere").
0:01:16: George Wallace speaking at a press conference at the Jefferson Davis Hotel in Montgomery, Alabama, in June 1968. He comments on the possible appointment of Abe Fortas as chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, and he criticizes the federal courts for "trying to bring about social revolution and change" (a reference to recent decisions about desegregation and civil rights). Lee Wallace and Cecil Jackson are present at the event.
0:04:42: George Wallace greeting supporters at Dannelly Field in Montgomery before leaving for Baltimore, Maryland, in late June 1968. Seymore Trammel and Cecil Jackson accompany him. The footage is silent.
0:05:47: George Wallace reading a prepared statement during a press at the Jefferson Davis Hotel in Montgomery, Alabama, in June 1968. In it, he promotes law and order as the only remedy to the country's problems, which he blames on current political leaders and "do-good judges." He also recommends that the Communist Party be outlawed in the country, and he briefly discusses the upcoming Democratic National Convention: "I am not seeking any support in the Democratic . . . convention, nor am I asking any delegate from Alabama to support me and nominate me there, but I cannot, of course, control the actions of the delegates." Seymore Trammell and Cecil Jackson accompany him.
0:07:41: George Wallace discussing gun control during a press conference at the Jefferson Davis Hotel in Montgomery in June 1968. Though he expresses some support for firearm regulation, though he argues that "a man who wants to violate the law, who will kill you, who will burn a building down, who will take over a university, he wouldn't obey a gun law." Seymore Trammell is standing behind him.
0:08:25: Governor Albert Brewer discussing Mobile County's school desegregation plan during his weekly press conference on June 20, 1968. Brewer had met with the school board earlier in the day to discuss a recent federal court order mandating the use of "attendance zones" rather than school choice to achieve integration: "I offered them the assistance of the governor's office in any way possible to assist them in defending the freedom of choice plan which they have presented to the court, and expressed my grave concern to them as I have to you on many occasions about the effect of arbitrary mandatory attendance zones on the public school system of this state."
0:09:47: Governor Albert Brewer announcing the formation of a state motor pool during his weekly press conference on June 26, 1968. He also discusses the effect that a new federal income surtax will have on state income and sales tax revenues.
0:12:13: Governor Albert Brewer discussing increased security for George Wallace during his weekly press conference on June 26, 1968: "[There's] been no request for any additional troopers on this trip to my knowledge and with all these Secret Service agents, I don't know where he'd put them, anyway." He also confirms that, with the exception of security personnel such as pilots and state troopers, no other state employees expend state resources (time or funds) on the Wallace campaign.
0:13:59: Governor Brewer speaking during the graduation ceremony at Northwest Alabama State Technical Institute in Hamilton on June 28, 1968. Speaker of the House Rankin Fite (representative for Marion County) also attended the event.
0:17:42: Public Safety Director Floyd Mann discussing the lack of firearm regulation in the state: "Well of course, the only regulation we have in Alabama, reference the sale of firearms, is dealing with pistols and pistols alone. When an individual goes into a licensed dealer to buy a pistol, there's a required 48-hour waiting period before the pistol could be delivered to the buyer, in order to give the dealer time to check on this person's criminal record, anything concerning the individual that should be helpful to the dealer."
0:18:16: Officer Drue Lackey, chief of the Montgomery Police Department, discussing the need for local firearm control laws: "I do believe we need firearm control laws. I believe it should be handled locally by your states, let the states handle it and pass these laws. Statistics have shown that 60% of the murders in the United States are committed with firearms, and of course the rate is alarming on murders: we have one murder every 48 minutes. And with the easy accessibility of obtaining firearms, this figure continues to increase."
0:19:14: WSFA-TV's Carl Stephens interviewing Bart Starr, quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, in June 1968 about a possible strike by National Football League players, as well as other proposed rule changes.
0:20:42: George Wallace greeting supporters at Dannelly Field in Montgomery before leaving for Memphis, Tennessee, in June 1968.
0:21:42: Mayor George Seibels of Birmingham, Alabama, addressing a meeting of the Montgomery Kiwanis Club at the Whitley Hotel on June 11, 1968.
0:22:50: WSFA-TV's Carl Stephens interviewing Bart Starr, quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, in June 1968 about the "thrill" of playing on a championship team. In particular, Starr mentions Green Bay's win against the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL Championship Game on December 31, 1967, an event also known as the "Ice Bowl," as it was the coldest game played in the league's history.
