- Description
-
Written after the victory of George Wallace in the Democratic party primary for governor of Alabama; with no Republican opposing him, he was virtually guaranteed to win the general election.
It addresses Wallace's campaign promises, particularly his pledge to "stand in the schoolhouse door" to prevent integration of schools. It imagines what would happen if he took this "stand" and implores him to bring about his aims without violence, for the sake of the state's reputation. - Source
