Trent Lott Trent Lott claims that he misspoke in saying that, if the rest of the country had followed the four Southern states that went for Strom Thurmond in 1948, "we wouldn't have had all these problems over all these years."

If Trent Lott has committed an error, it was simply that he blurted out what lies behind the massive party realignment that has occurred in the South over the last thirty-five years. To allow Senator Lott, who advocates separatism and inequality, to have a leadership position in our government would be a mockery of this nation's historic commitment to justice for African Americans, women, and others who have been denied full participation in this nation. www.witherspoonsociety.org /02-12/trent_lott.htm   (547 words)
