Senator Strom Thurmond's Deception Ravaged Two Lives

Date: December 26, 2003
Author: Brent Staples
QUOTE: The tragedy of this case played out in the life of a needy child who was abandoned by her father [Senator Strom Thurmond-Ed.] and then misused for political purposes.

ABSTRACT: The daughter of Senator Strom Thurmond and a black family servant confirmed the rumored facts of her parentage only after Sen. Thurmond died. This article paints a picture of the personal costs to the black mother and her child under the circumstances and scathingly criticizes Thurmond's family for feeling shame over the revelation rather than over the decades-long poor treatment of the victims.
