969×1024time.com > RFK spent the night at Andrews Air Force base,avoiding segregated accommodations. The next morning,Judge Frank Johnson joined the attorney general for an early breakfast. Few knew Wallace as well as Johnson. They had been classmates at the University of Alabama,had gone head-to- head several years earlier when Wallace,then a circuit court judge,had refused Johnson’s order to open voting records to inspection by the Civil Rights Commission. In a bizarre late-night meeting at Johnson’s home,Wallace had finally given in when he had been told he would go to jail if he did not comply. Johnson’s briefing confirmed Kennedy’s apprehensions. Little,however,prepared him for the scene that would greet him at the state capitol later that morning. More than one hundred state police surrounded the capitol building,each a Confederate flag emblazoned on his helmet. Governor Wallace had had the Confederate flag hoisted over the capitol the day before the visit—where it would remain for thirty years. At the front entrance of the capitol,Kennedy,Burke Marshall made their way around a wreath of red,white carnations,a Confederate flag marking the place where Jefferson Davis was inaugurated as president of the Confederacy. The women who had covered the marker stood close by. “We didn’t want the enemy stepping on sacred ground,” one told a reporter.
