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:
“If youth is the period of hero-worship, so also is it true that hero-worship, more than anything else, perhaps, gives one the sense of youth. To admire, to expand one’s self, to forget the rut, to have a sense of newness and life and hope, is to feel young at any time of life.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
