Hosts Jamie Chambers and Bambi Chambers finally lay George Wallace to rest in the conclusion of this gripping three-part series on the notorious former governor of Alabama. This episode kicks off with the story of Arthur Bremer, a man who altered American history with five bullets despite his indifference to politics and his victim. Not even lifelong paralysis could deter Wallace from his relentless pursuit of power.
