[from Mikhaela's News Blog ] :
I want to tell you, ladies and gentleman, that there's not enough troops in the army to force the Southern people to break down segregation and admit the nigger race into our theatres, into our swimming pools, into our homes and into our churches. — Strom Thurmond during a 1948 presidential campaign speech
Or if you don't want to believe Lott's and Strom's critics, listen to it for yourself at NPR.
