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. 000290878 60010 $$aThurmond, Strom,$$d1902-$$xFamily. 000290878 60010 $$aWashington-Williams, Essie Mae,$$d1925-2013. 000290878 60010 $$aThurmond, Strom,$$d1902-$$xRelations with women. 000290878 60010 $$aThurmond, Strom,$$d1902-$$xRelations with African Americans. 000290878 650_0 $$aDaughters$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000290878 650_0 $$aRacially mixed people$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000290878 650_0 $$aLegislators$$zUnited States$$xFamily relationships$$vCase studies. 000290878 651_0 $$aSouthern States$$xRace relations$$vCase studies. 000290878 7001_ $$aStadiem, William. 000290878 85200 $$bgen$$hE748.T58$$iW37$$i2005 000290878 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:290878$$pGLOBAL_SET 000290878 980__ $$aBIB 000290878 980__ $$aBOOK 000290878 994__ $$aC0$$bISE
