Man some of you dont really know the old bag to well.
This guy was a major part of history for the past half centruy. Good or bad. Yeah he had some serious racist issues in his past but changed. First Southern Sen to hire an africian-american staffer, first Sen to support an Africian-American Judge to seat, and completely supported creating a holiday for MLK Jr.

Oh yeah and he voluteenered for the Army in WWII when he was over the age limit to be drafted. Stopped his political career for that too. Dropped into France with the 82nd during DDay. Only Senator to be elected to office via a write-in ballot.


Rest in Peace old man, you've done this country well
