As chairman of the Alabama Democratic Party in the 1960s and early 1970s, Vance worked to bring African-Americans into the party and fought then-Gov. George C. Wallace’s and other segregationists effort to control the party machinery, said Al LaPierre, who worked for Vance in the 1970s.
“He believed the Democratic Party should be open and not be the party of George Wallace and the Dixiecrats,” LaPierre said.
