According to Biden, Strom Thurmond voted against the poll tax, and in favor of the extension of the voting rights act and the MLK holiday. He changed as South Carolina and the South changed. He did his best to help his Black constituents.
“The Civil Rights Movement did more to free the white man than the black man. It freed my soul.”
