- Description:
- Governor George Wallace addressing a joint session of the Legislature in the House chamber of the Capitol in Montgomery, Alabama, the day after Judge Frank Johnson issued his court order allowing the Selma to Montgomery March to proceed. In his remarks, he discusses the costs of providing protection and support for the marchers, and he urges white citizens to avoid the upcoming demonstration: "I ask you to restrain yourself, and I hope that at the time this march takes place, that you will stay at your workbench, that you will stay at your home, and that you will let this matter be handled by those who are in authority." (Seated in the background are Senator Pete Mathews and Lieutenant Governor Jim Allen.)
