This problem of racial change and freedom of speech is no more evident than in the universities, where Savio has conducted most of his speeches. However, Savio believes the bureaucracy seems to have the people convinced that this change will not happen, and creates pressure for young Americans who are making these life choices to believe in the old never changing society that was left for us and not subject to change.

One of the more vocal members of this town hall meeting to speak on behalf of segregation was Alabama Governor George Wallace. During his speech Wallace continuously calls on to the people of Alabama and to all southerners that they must come together protect their heritage and their way of life and he makes this very clear when he states "segregation now segregation tomorrow segregation forever" (Wallace, 1998). Wallace continues to criticize and downgrade desegregation and the liberal agenda by making statements such as "We will not sacrifice our children to any type of school system where desegregation is allowed" (Wallace, 1998). With statements such as those made by Governor Wallace it is very plain for me to see that southerners and other American citizens who oppose desegregation and the liberal agenda or views will not go down without a fight. During his speech, Wallace also looked back to draw on history to support his cause by looking at the basis on which we formed this very nation. Evidence of this was made clear when Wallace stated that "This nation was never meant to be a unit of one but a unit of the many that is the exact reason our freedom-loving forefathers established the states" (Wallace, 1998). After hearing Governor Wallace's speech I cannot help but notice that even if desegregation is established soon our problems on this issue will not vanish overnight. It will take many years for this country to fully except desegregation due to the fact that segregation has been embedded as a way of life among many Americans especially those of the Southern states.
