Abstract
Birmingham politician Arthur Shores offers his thoughts on the intersection of race and politics in his home city. Shores sees significant progress in Birmingham since the violence of the 1960s—and in part because of that violence— and sees Birmingham citizens increasingly voting their interests rather than their race. He also shares his opinion of George Wallace, whom he sees as a political opportunist.
