Most politicians born in the South during that era grew up having some pretty backward views.

and many of them were repentant of those views later in life.

george wallace quietly visited black churches asking forgiveness for the harm he had done earlier in his life.

while that was going on, jesse helms sang dixie to the first african american woman elected to the senate promising he'd keep it up "until she cried".

i think i have his entire life in perspective when i say the world is better off without him and those that share his views.
