[edit] Merge

I just merged a duplicate article by an anon. Since I don't know much about this subject, I'm pasting the content of the duplicate article here in case there's any verifiable content anyone wants to incorporate into this article:


Russell Long was elected a Democratic U.S. Senator from Louisiana in 1948 and served for many decades. He was the son of the controversial, assasinated governor of Louisiana. As part of Georgia Senator Richard Russell's "southern bloc" in the Senate, Senator Long was often forced to vote along with the other Southern senators against civil rights legislation, though there is evidence that he personally supported civil and voting rights for blacks and Mexican-Americans.
