Personally I see Strom as having been an opportunist. A shrewd politician.
He looked at his constitutents and told them what they wanted to hear. When segregation would get him elected, that was his platform. When the world changed and he had to be for civil rights, yet still for denying Martin Luther King Jr a day in his honor, that is what he stood for.
He truly was a mouthpiece for his state.
Him having this child while still pushing for segregation, reinforces my thoughts of him as an opportunist.
