Lester Maddox riding a bicycle backwards
Exactly what it sounds like.
I stole this from my friend Danny Gilleland's blog. Danny is the senior photographer here at The Telegraph, which has a phenomenal photography staff, particularly for a paper our size.

I remember that crazy bastard!
He was many things, and his behavior at his restaurant towards African-Americans rather hideous; but when he became Governor, he wound up doing more for the African-Americans community in Georgia than any previous governor and many since.
I'm still amused at the thought, though, that I once rounded a corner in the Capitol and collided with then-Lieutenant Governor Maddox, while carrying a huge glass of chocolate milk (courtesy of the Georgia milk lobby), and spilled it ALL over him.
