What exactly was his thought crime? I’m sure it’s racist, but what are the particulars?


He was racist and anti-desegregation along with probably 99% of US colleges in that time frame. It doesn't make it right,though.

The federal court building is still named after Hale Boggs. What was THAT democrat congressman doing during the Civil Rights Act votes?
