Did you know Dixiecrat Strom Thurmond was a progressive?

"As Governor of South Carolina, Thurmond said on a radio broadcast: "We need a progressive outlook, a progressive program and a progressive leadership." In his inaugural address as governor, Thurmond not only called for abolishing the poll tax, but also advocated expanding workman's compensation laws, and better working conditions in plants and factories. He repeated his call for better public education, and told the state that "more attention should be given to Negro education".

Thurmond advocated in his inaugural speech: ..."equal rights for women in every respect...equal pay for equal work for women."
