Who was one of the last openly segregationist politicians in georgia (governor).

Lester Maddox was one of the last openly segregationist politicians in Georgia (Governor).

Lesser Maddox himself clearly stated in many instances and acted accordingly to convey that he is a segregationist.

In an instance, Maddox had intimidated his employees about a possible invasion of his restaurant and had ordered them to defend the invasion with pickaxe handles in hands. The invasion he talked about was actually was a simple request made by three black students to allow them to sit in the restaurant.
