What did Governor Maddox do as governor that is pretty shocking based on his stance on segregation?
Digiron [165]

to office in 1966 by widespread dissatisfaction with desegregation, Maddox Through the voice of "Pickrick," Maddox's fictional alter ego, these advertisements promoted the culinary offerings of the restaurant with a generous helping of the proprietor's homespun political commentary. Through these ads Maddox created a forum for anxieties shared by white working-class Atlantans, mostly over the issues of segregation and governmental corruption. The popularity of Maddox's sometimes pointed and combative monologues led to his emergence as a public figure. Entry into Politics In 1957 Maddox decided to put his words into action and challenged the incumbent, William B. Hartsfield, in the Atlanta mayoral race. Maddox was unsuccessful. Four years later he lost again to Ivan Allen Jr. In both campaigns he championed integrity and economy in government—and above all else, segregation. Undeterred by these setbacks in city politics, Maddox entered the 1962 lieutenant governor's race, only to suffer a runoff defeat against fellow segregationist Peter Zack Geer. By 1962 Maddox believed a political career was not meant to be.

Although many Atlanta businesses had desegregated before the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Maddox's Pickrick remained stubbornly wedded to the segregationist Jim Crow policies. The passage of the act put Maddox on a collision course with the "forces of integration" he so ardently opposed. As a conspicuous symbol of segregationist defiance, the Pickrick became an immediate target of civil rights activists seeking to test the new law.

Maddox and a throng of supporters wielding axe handles forcibly turned away three Black activists. A photograph of the scene ran on the front pages of newspapers across the nation, creating an image of Maddox as a violent racist. Maddox would both shun and cultivate this reputation at various points throughout his career. After losing a yearlong legal battle in which he challenged the constitutionality of the public accommodations section of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Maddox elected to close his restaurant rather than desegregate.

stand at the Pickrick endeared him to many white Georgians who remained unwilling to relinquish segregation. Riding a wave of reaction to the Civil Rights Act, Maddox entered Georgia's 1966 gubernatorial contest and shocked many political observers by defeating the liberal former governor Ellis Arnall in the Democratic primary. This victory set the stage for a hard-fought campaign against textile heir Bo Callaway, the first credible Republican candidate for governor since Reconstruction. In a bizarre turn of events, Callaway won the popular vote, but because of a write-in campaign for Arnall, the Republican lacked a majority of votes. Following the Georgia constitution of the day, the legislature, controlled by Democrats, decided the election in favor of Maddox. Rumors that Maddox would return Georgia to a state of massive resistance against segregation proved unfounded. In fact, Maddox proved reasonably progressive on many racial matters. As governor he backed significant prison reform, an issue popular with many of the state's African Americans. He appointed more African Americans to government positions than all previous Georgia governors combined, including the first Black officer in the Georgia State Patrol and the first Black official to the state Board of Corrections. Though he never finished high school, Maddox greatly increased funding for the University System of Georgia.

Maddox's term was not without controversy, however. Fearing riots during the funeral procession of Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968, Maddox overreacted with a heavy-handed police presence. He also refused to order flags at state facilities to be lowered to half-mast for the funeral. As the leader of the state's delegation to the 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago, Illinois, Maddox fought against the civil rights aims of the party.

After the Governorship Constitutionally  unable to succeed himself as governor in the 1971 election, Maddox ran for and became the state's lieutenant governor. During his term he often found himself at odds with his political rival, Governor Jimmy Carter. He unsuccessfully ran again for governor against George Busbee in 1974 and in several elections thereafter. Maddox also ran for president of the United States as an independent in 1976. Returning to private life, Maddox operated a furniture store and a variety of other enterprises, none of which proved as successful as the Pickrick. Toward the end of his life, Maddox expressed few regrets and made no apologies for his segregationist beliefs or any of his other political stances.
