Abstract
Kerr Scott is elected to the Senate in 1954, defeating race-baiting tactics by his opponent. Despite his progressive record as governor, Scott was not one of the Senate’s liberals and did not cut as large a figure. He joins with the segregationist Southern bloc in the Senate. He dies in office in 1958.
