Senator Byrd a major supporter of segregation in public policy and integration of military forces in his early career. He later renounced is Klan ties in 1952 while running for the House of Representatives. He was first elected to Office in 1962 and is currently the longest serving congressman in the senate.
His support of Senator Obama has put real teeth in his renunciation of his raciest views.
