Gov Wallace standing in front of the doors was all a political stunt. The night before he had talked with RFK and agreed to integrate the University if he could just put on the show that you see here. He didn't want to be arrested cause he knew that he legitimately could have been. It was mostly an act to appeal to his very racist and bigoted base.
