Here's what Bill Clinton said when he eulogized his mentor, Sen J. William Fulbright: {{quotebox|"We come to celebrate and give thanks for the remarkable life of J. William Fulbright, a life that changed our country and our world forever and for the better. . . . In the work he did, the words he spoke and the life he lived, Bill Fulbright stood against the 20th century’s most destructive forces and fought to advance its brightest hopes.<ref>[https://www.nationalreview.com/2015/06/democratic-party-racist-history-mona-charen/ Whitewashing the Democratic Party’s History]</ref>}} So spoke President William J. Clinton in 1995 of a man who was among the 99 Democrats in Congress to sign the “[[Southern Manifesto]]” in 1956. The Southern Manifesto declared the signatories’ opposition to the Supreme Court's decision in ''[[Brown v. Board of Education]]'' and their commitment to segregation forever. Fulbright was also among those who [[filibuster]]ed the [[Civil Rights Act of 1964]]. That filibuster continued for 83 days. Hillary Clinton also honored him as a "hero" as well, and her name was added to the "J. William Fulbright - Hillary Rodham Clinton Fellowship" in 2013.<ref>[http://www.capoliticalreview.com/capoliticalnewsandviews/hillary-clinton-hero-is-racist-bigot-segregationist-anti-semitic-sen-william-fulbright/ Hillary Clinton “Hero” is Racist, Bigot, Segregationist, Anti-Semitic Sen.
