Apart from that simple fact, virtually everything else about his career is the subject of controversy. Griffin governed at a point in the late 1950s when the state was undergoing a profound political transition from a rural-dominated, segregationist culture to a more urban landscape. As he attempted to guide Georgia through years of tumultuous change and upheaval throughout the South, Griffin developed a reputation for being inflammatory on racial issues and merciless to his political enemies \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003e\"Some of the People Who Ate My Barbecue Didn't Vote for Me,\"\u003c\/i\u003e Scott Buchanan portrays Marvin Griffin as a Yellow Dog Democrat struggling against inevitable change. Griffin was viewed by many as a charismatic voice of resistance in the Georgia and the South in the wake of Brown v. Board of Education. He combined a staunch segregationist approach with economically progressive policies, assisting in Georgia's transformation from an agrarian economy to a more industrialized one.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ironically, it was these efforts and the larger shift in politics that doomed Griffin's career, ensuring his administration would last only one term.
