The 1970 Wallace-Brewer Race

     It was perhaps the dirtiest political campaign in American History.,.a race we explore in a two-part report on CBS-8/WAKA called "Dirty Politics".
     Part one aired Monday night in the 10:00 News...you can watch it on the station's website here. Part two airs tonight at 10:00pm and will be online afterwards.
    George Wallace, Jr (right) is one of those interviewed for the reports. He refers to it as a "difficult" election in which race was certainly a factor.
   "One of the nastiest races I've ever seen," says Rep. Alvin Holmes, who was elected in 1974, and is Alabama's the longest serving legislator.

[NOTE: If you missed the broadcast, you can still watch the two parts online.
Here's a link to the online video of Part One of the report called "Dirty Politics"
