I am unsure if Rep. Waggonner renounced segregation. He ran a segregationist primary campaign in 1968 against an African American. He had virtually no opposition from 1970 until he retired in 1978. I think he just stopped talking about segregation once the civil rights agenda was in place. One who never renounced segregation was Jim Johnson, the Arkansas State Supreme Court judge who lost the 1966 gubernatorial election to Winthrop Rockefeller, who was certainly no segregationist.

:Hmm, interesting. (you're certainly a top-notch expert on Louisiana politics) Now, I'm also curious, what about Otto Passman, who was a Boll Weevil like Waggonner? Did he later become less openly in support of segregation? —[[User:Liberaltears|<code><span style="color:black; background:#FFABAB">'''LT'''</span></code>]]'''''[[User:Liberaltears/mail|<sup>May D.C., his mother, and I.S. be all well!</sup>]]''''' Saturday, 22:32, June 11, 2021 (EDT)
