My father was a fair man and that made him a fair judge. He never had a decision overturned by an appellate court, and that is quite a tribute to his knowledge of the law. As a judge, he always had sensitivity for the poor and less fortunate, and his decisions reflected this. It is ironic that the very nature of my father that sought to help others was so misconstrued in his later years by his position on segregation. That issue more than any other defined him and try as he might, he never would be able to change that. - George Wallace Jr.
