"There will never be a Negro on the US Supreme Court, I can guarantee you that. Mr. [Thurgood] Marshall holds views which our dangerous to this nation and our posterity. I know a group of Senators, who, like myself...will hold up his confirmation vote for months if we have to." --Senator Robert C. Byrd, June 1967
