George Wallace-P6F-Forgiven But Not Forgotten
In a 1995 interview, Wallace said that he planned to vote for Republican Bob Dole in the 1996 presidential election, commenting, "He's a good man. His wife is a born-again Christian woman and I believe he is too."
He also revealed that he had voted for George H. W. Bush, another Republican in 1992. His son, George Wallace Jr., officially switched from Democrat to Republican that same year. Wallace himself declined to officially identify as either a Republican or a Democrat. But he added, "The state is slowly going Republican because of Clinton being so liberal." In his later years, Wallace suffered from deafness and Parkinson's disease.
At a restaurant a few blocks from the State Capitol, Wallace became something of a fixture. In constant pain, he was surrounded by an entourage of old friends and visiting well-wishers and continued this ritual until a few weeks before his death. Wallace died of septic shock from a bacterial infection in Jackson Hospital in Montgomery on September 13, 1998. He suffered from respiratory problems in addition to complications from his gunshot spinal injury. His grave is located at Greenwood Cemetery, in Montgomery.
With four failed runs for president, he was unsuccessful in national politics.However, his impact on American politics was enormous and earned him the appellation "the most influential loser" in 20th century American politics, according to biographers Dan T. Carter, and Stephan Lesher.
The George Wallace Tunnel on Interstate 10 which runs underneath Mobile, Alabama is named in his honor.
In the 2015 film Selma, which was set during the Civil Rights Movement, which then-Governor Wallace publicly opposed, Wallace was portrayed by actor Tim Roth.
The George C. Wallace White Way, a four-lane road between Guin and Hamilton in Alabama, was named in his honor.
