Wallace post-turnaround on Civil Rights.

George Wallace's 4th & final term as AL Gov > any of Rocky's terms as NY Gov

On one hand, Wallace was a virulent racist who fought integration with tooth and claw. On the other, Rockefeller increased the number of African Americans employed by the state government by 50% and backed the Equal Rights Amendment.

That was easy.
