University of Alabama removes name of former governor and staunch segregationist George Wallace from building over his racist views

A resolution was unanimously approved by the the University of Alabama System on Friday, to rename the former George C. Wallace Building to the Physical Education Building.

The resolution noted that Wallace rose to power by defending racial separation and stoking racial animosity. It added that even though Wallace eventually renounced his racist policies, his name remains a symbol of racial injustice for many.

Removing Wallace's name from the structure, which was named after him in 1975, 'is simply the right things to do,' trustee John England Jr. said in a statement.

Wallace vowed 'segregation forever' at his 1963 inaugural and was paralyzed in an assassination attempt while running for president in 1972.
