Edition:  1st ed. Requests:  0 Summary:  The illegitimate daughter of the late Senator Strom Thurmond breaks her lifelong silence. Her father, the longtime senator from South Carolina, was once the nation's leading voice for racial segregation; he mounted a filibuster against the Civil Rights Act of 1957 -- in the name of saving the South from "mongrelization." Her mother was Carrie Butler, a black teenager who worked as a maid on the Thurmond family's South Carolina plantation. The memoir reveals a brave young woman who struggled with the discrepancy between the father she knew -- financially generous, supportive of her education, even affectionate -- and the old Southern politician who refused to acknowledge their relationship in public.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 973.9092 Wa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Biography Thurmond Wa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.9092 Wa Checked In Add Copy to MyList
