George Corley Wallace III, generally known as George Wallace Jr., (born October 17, 1951) is an American politician from the U.S. state of Alabama.
Wallace was born in Eufaula in Barbour County in southeastern Alabama, the only son of George Corley Wallace Jr. and Lurleen Burns Wallace, each of whom were Democratic governors of Alabama. His sisters are Bobbi Jo Parsons, Peggy Sue Kennedy, and Janie Lee Dye. His father was a noted segregationist who ran for President of the United States on four occasions (George Sr. would eventually renounce his racial stances later in life). His mother succeeded her husband's first term as governor and served as a surrogate for him until her death from uterine cancer in 1968.
Wallace lived in the Alabama Governor's Mansion in Montgomery during his parents' terms as governor from 1963 to 1968, after which he lived with relatives. In the seventh grade, he was clipped playing football and sustained an injury for which he was hospitalized. He graduated in 1970 from Sidney Lanier High School in Montgomery, completed a bachelor's degree in history at Huntingdon College in Montgomery in 1976, and did graduate work in political science and public administration at Auburn University in Auburn.
