Lester Maddox was an American politician who served as the 75th Governor of the state of Georgia from 1967 to 1971. He was a Democrat and he is best known for his firm position on racial segregation. He owned a restaurant in Atlanta in which he refused to serve black customers.

As a governor, he was popular and accomplished a lot. In spite of his views on racial segregation, he appointed more black people to government positions than all of previous Georgia's governors combined.

In higher education ( during his time in office ), he increased the funding for Georgia's universities to the highest lever ever compared to any other state. The State Board of Regents received the highest budget increase of the latter half of the 20th century
