Segregationist in His Time
Like nearly all of his southern colleagues, Passman in 1956 signed the Southern Manifesto to voice objection to the U.S. Supreme Court's desegregation decision, Brown v. the Board of Education. Like most of his constituents, Passman supported segregation. By 1970, however, all of the public schools in Louisiana had been desegregated, and the issue quickly waned.

Famous quotes containing the word time:
“AIDS was ... an illness in stages, a very long flight of steps that led assuredly to death, but whose every step represented a unique apprenticeship. It was a disease that gave death time to live and its victims time to die, time to discover time, and in the end to discover life.”
—Hervé Guibert (1955–1991)
