Black preachers wield strong political influence in Alabama, and the feeling among insiders was that Mr. Wallace had circumvented black political leaders and reached into the pulpits for support in rural areas.

Arrington recalls that he was puzzled by black officeholders who endorsed George Wallace, possibly in the presidential election of 1972. He rejects the idea that Wallace, at the time governor of Alabama, had left behind his racist political ideology. He also says that the media exaggerated Wallace's black support. Arrington himself, however, would support a Democratic presidential ticket with Wallace as vice president.
