- Description:
- This series of WSB-TV newsfilm clips of Alabama governor and presidential candidate George Wallace addressing the "American Patriots" rally at Lakewood Park, Atlanta, Georgia, seems to include his entire speech. The clips are silent; the sound may still be retained on the original film.The first segment includes a few shots that also appear in wsbn42590 and wsbn42598, where people are carrying United States flags and Confederate battle flags, placards with "We Want Wallace" and a sign reading "Valdosta Lowndes Co for Wallace." While most of the clip is of Mr. Wallace speaking, there are also shots that include his wife Lurleen, former Mississippi governor Ross Barnet, and Georgia business owner Lester Maddox. There is also a clip of the crowds in the grandstand.The second segment is a repeat of the second half of the first segment.
