Let's say that George Wallace manages to win the Democratic nomination in 1972... What does the black vote look like? Does Nixon carry the black belt or do black voters believe Wallace when he claims he's "always" been a moderate on racial issues?

As Old School said, a third party vote is likely, although if Nixon and Wallace were the only two on the ballot, I see Nixon winning the black belt voters.
Yeah, I don't see anyway a progressive third party doesn't run if Wallace was the nominee, unless he 100% reversed his support for segregation and ditched the racist rhetoric.
