Legislative Session that describe his uphill fight in the Senete

To determine his courage, one cen follow his constant leadership
since 1955 in the fight to maintain our free public schools.
particularly his outspoken and often solitary voice in 1957.
insisting that Florida must not close its public schools under
any circumstsnces. To determine his vision, one needs only to
