Change the name of Wallace State Community College!

The Issue

Remove the George B. Wallace name and all associating factors; Rename Wallace State Community College of Hanceville, AL. 

Wallace supported segregation the policies of "Jim Crow" policies during the Civil Rights Movement. In 1963, in his inaugural address, he said that he stood for "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever". Wallace State Community College should not support that and continue to oppress the black community. 

It’s time that we recognize the underlying messages and start making real change in our community to end racism.
