	DM: Bilbo left infamous legacy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Bilbo's career in Mississippi was fraught with controversy all the way back to 1910 when, as a state senator from Pearl River County, he claimed the forces of Leroy Percy tried to bribe him to vote for Percy when the state Senate had the power to fill vacant U.S. Senate seats.
		Bilbo went on to win the governor's office in the next election, the first of two times he was made governor.
		Bilbo pictured himself as a martyr to Yankee persecution in his 1946 re-election campaign and cast aside all civility by saying "The way to keep the 'nigger' from the polls is to see him the night before."

		Bilbo, the youngest of ten children, was born in 1877 on a farm in the wire-grass country of Mississippi, six miles from the railroad station at Poplarville.
		Bilbo was not a particularly handsome man. But he didn’t seem to know it, and neither, apparently, did most of the people in Mississippi who came to hear him.
		Undeterred, Bilbo demanded a stiffer penal code for Washington, a city that at the time was almost completely free of organized or big-scale crime, and advocated taking back from the state of Virginia a thirty-square-mile strip of land that had once been a part of the District.

		Governor Theodore Bilbo’s attacks upon the University of Mississippi in 1930 altered Sydnor’s perspectives.
		A fiery leader of the state’s downtrodden masses, the governor challenged the school’s aristocratic traditions, firing its president and about one-fourth of its faculty.
		Appalled, Sydnor developed a keen sensitivity to the struggles between the South’s intransigent elites and the restive under classes which found voice in the demagogic Bilbo.

		Perhaps the most extreme example of demagogue, a man who was an embarrassment even to many of his racist allies was Theodore Gilmore Bilbo, Democratic Senator from Mississippi from 1935 to 1947.
		Bilbo returned home and entered politics winning a seat in the Mississippi Senate running as an anti-railroad populist and supporter of white superiority.
		Bilbo was back in the Governor's mansion in 1928 and won a hard-fought U.S. Senate seat in 1934, but did so by ratcheting up the racial rhetoric.

		My opposition to racial segregation stems largely from the fact that Theodore Gilmore Bilbo, perhaps the most racist politician in American history, was my fifth cousin.
		Bilbo was twice elected governor of Mississippi and three times elected to the United States Senate.
		For example, he filibustered a civil rights bill from the floor of the United States Senate, instead suggesting a “back to Africa” bill that would establish a nation in Africa solely for American fls (to be financed by the federal government).

		Southerners continued to use racism as a tool for re-election, scaring their constituents by claiming that "white womanhood" was endangered by the loss of states' rights to control the fls of the South.
		Former Mississippi governor and virulent white supremacist Senator Theodore Bilbo first joined the Senate in 1935, and went so far as to introduce an amendment to a relief bill that would provide funds for the deportation of all fls to Liberia.
		Only Bilbo's death in the late summer of 1947 spared the Congress from dealing with the matter, but marked the beginning of the postwar struggle for the passage of civil rights legislation.

		Adams uses the example of his fifth cousin to explain how many of today’s calls for separate proms, student unions, clubs, etc. for the fl members of our population are equivalent to the unfortunate demands for continued segregation half a century ago.
		His cousin is Theodore Gilmore Bilbo, and he was a disgustingly racist member of the U. Senate.
		Adams believes his cousin Bilbo would agree with a woman who wrote a letter to Adams stating that “fl people feel more comfortable when surrounded exclusively by fls”; because Bilbo felt the same way about his fellow white people.
