The comment about Senator Byrd is particularly relevant in this discussion. Strom is a man who changed over the years and as was pointed out, hired the first black staffer for a southern Senator. Yet somehow, everyone wants to remember 1948 Strom, instead of the man he became. However, Senator Byrd was not only a member of the KKK, he was a Grand Dragon. Why is there not more of an outcry about him? Because he changed??? If that's your answer, then it should apply equally to Strom.
