One tidbit from Wiki on Senator Hale Boggs - During his tenure in Congress, Boggs was an influential player in the government. After Brown v. Board of Education, he signed the Southern Manifesto condemning desegregation in the 1950s and opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Yes, and Cokie and Hillary went to Wellesley College together, too. To be fair, Cokie is Class of 65 and Hillary Class of 69, but there you have it!
Thomas Hale Boggs, Sr was an American Democratic politician and a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from New Orleans, Louisiana.
Just reminding ya’ll, that a$$ hole was not a senator, but a congress critter.
