Ol' Strom didn't want that known (that he had a black daughter), but it was common knowledge in many circles.

True. He didn't publicize it, and many people knew.

What, again? Why can't you just call these men conservative congressmen? Talk about their platforms, don't obsess about their skin. Sheesh.

Simple.

Because I wanted to.

I think it's funny that ol' Strom was an advocate of staunch segregation, but he didn't practice it in his own life.

What, did you missed the word 'fact' in my post?

Funny? Oh, I suppose so, if you find that kind of thing funny.
