it was during the dog days of an barack obama -- alabama where governor wallace blocked two students from registering. >> i george w wallace as governor of the state of alabama denounce and forbid an illegal and unwarranted action by the central government. the stand in the school house door would become a seminal moment in the civil rights movement. 52 years later there's more history. >> reporter: elliott, we are at a spot where 50 years ago governor george wallace tried to prevent african-american students from registering. it these be meaningful to you. >> it is, it's symbolic to me as an african-american male. at that time i could not come here. i was not welcome to set foot on the campus. today it's not the case. >> reporter: it sure isn't. last month he was elected president of the university, one of two african-americans ever. the last 39 years ago. >> reporter: did your parents give you advice? >> don't run. >> reporter: did they say that? >> they did. >> reporter: elliott's dad nose a few things about being a long shot. he was the first student body president of his all-white high school in mississippi.

george wallace finally has control of the government. thank you. host: frank is up next in lancaster, pennsylvania on the line for democrats. good morning. caller: good morning to you. i am calling -- do you hear me? i can hear you. i am calling to say i really fell in love with eric holder and i feel as if the reason they don't like the man is because he brings up issues and he will not back down and stands his ground. the way they keep talking about our president and they way they keep neglecting to give this lady a vote -- there is a certain amount of racism down here. that is coming from these people who do not want to see america come together as it should. i love them totally and completely and they have to understand all the issues around town. and just doesn't suit one person. it is for everyone. they are talking about illegal aliens and everything like that. they have to realize that like back in the 1920's, these folks around here have gone from gangsters to getting their sons and daughters and grandchildren into this thing here. the lume

indeed, from "national review"'s early reception by the then liberal intel jensia, the people george wallace called the pointy heads. back then in the mid-1950s conservatism was considered dead, dead as the etsl. linm trilling provided an off hand obituary of it writing that quote in the united states at this time, liberalism is not only the dominant but even the sole intellectual tradition. a dismissal of such olympian dimensions that the name of the deceased american conservatism was not mentioned so irrelevant that it did. the establishments "national review" was to ignore it. with any luck, it would founder because after all, the fill osraphy was preposterous, but nr refused to go away. it was becoming an active annoyance. thus six month or so so after its arrival on the scene in november, 1955, the liberals rolled out their big guns, a triple sell voe intended to blast the inteloper out of the water. boom went john fisher. editor of harper's lengthy and ponderous critique. boom, boom, followed dwight mcdonald all condescension and commentary. boom, boom, boom, went mary kempten, bringin

. >> did you go to george wallace high school? >> who would lead the wagons? >> it was one person pulling the wagon. >> you went to the greatest school on earth. >> isn't it sexist to just ask the girls to wear them? >> yes. that's why they should have sheik day. >> also joanne i believe it is cultural appropriation. >> for sure. these efforts to show support only magnify your ignorance. the school just seems ignorant. they don't really understand the culture and the whole point. everyone has to dress as a priest to show support for catholicism. it is like they are only learning how people dress. >> it is literally the least you can do. >>> coming up, a college apologizes for a racially insensitive party involving space aliens. you are watching "red eye" on fnc. stick around. i hate cleaning the gutters. have you touched the stuff? it's evil. and ladders... awwwwwww!!!!! they have all those warnings on them. might as well say, "you're going to die, jeff". you hired someone to clean the gutters? not just someone. someone from angie's list. but we're not members

. >> reporter: elliott, we are at a spot where 50 years ago governor george wallace tried to prevent african-american students from registering. it these be meaningful to you. >> it is it's symbolic to me as an african-american male. at that time i could not come here. i was not welcome to set foot on the campus. today it's not the case. >> reporter: it sure isn't. last month he was elected president of the university one of two african-americans ever. the last 39 years ago. >> right now we are in a new era at the university of alabama. we are moving forward, progressing. and the entire culture is shifting now. it's because of that that i was elected. >> reporter: on the losing end, some say, is the so-called machine. the machine is a coalition of all white fraternities and sororities those that participate in and rig elections. this secret society dating back 100 years at the university. members meet in the basement of fraternities, called going downstairs where they plot strategy. former alabama politician steve flowers was a member. he knew he had to be one if he was going anywher

it's the equivalent of george wallace saying segregation today, tomorrow, and forever.hat's exactly how i view it. it's the last gasp of a man. i will give him the benefit of the doubt about bigotry. he said we want to impose no go loans and shari'a law. this law goes so far, it says any action a person takes, any action because they're objecting to a gay couple is a defense by this law. meaning you could potentially physically assault someone. you might say that's ridiculous but if you read the statute, it's that broad. it defends you for anything you do to show that you have a moral conviction against gay marriage. it's a horrible law. and just one quick thing. in his article in the op-ed today, he said in our nation he left out iman on purpose. it plays to his conservative base and he's dis despicable. >> he would use certain rights to deny him service because of the color of his skin. >> ironic. >> i use a different word than ironic. you're a bit more charitable than me. so again, religious freedom was used to prop up jim crow in his state for many years. >> so let'

headed its like a george wallace, who was ridiculed as an unrepentant redneck when he was outspoken in verbalizing support for policies defending segregation and extolling the proud anglo-saxon southland. voters did not respond well to his defective racism -- to his de facto racism. to vote for him would admit their own racial biases and fears, but wallace learned that if you were more subtle with his messages, he could mobilize race-based voting without ever mentioning race at all. he stopped talking about objections to segregation and instead talked about state's writes -- states' rights against federal authority. does that sound familiar we talk about the federal health care act or immigration? the ability to exercise racially created a electoral responses room -- reveals their fears. goldwater talked about freedom of association, nixon employed the politically ambiguous southern view of the south, dog whistles about busing, and reagan describing the young buck in the grocery store line with us take -- with steak or the talk of welfare queens. professor lopez says not to get too smu
