I'm all ears. The topic is fascinating to me.
Is it your opinion that Wallace would have said no to Bear in '65 had Bear made his desire to admit blacks publicly known?

Firstly, you can count on one thing. Coach Bryant would have never gone public on this matter without talking to Gov. Wallace. What you're not grasping is that Bryant is/was an icon in the state, but Wallace ran the state...he called the shots, and that was the way is was. The 2 men were friends publicly, but their worlds weren't in the same solor system...so to speak.
