I have always had a pretty distinct understanding of who Justin VanderZwaag is. As his other half of almost three years, I knew there was always something more to know about him.

Justin’s parents are far from that though as he explains,” That is why it was so hard to choose what parent influenced me the most, they both did in drastic amounts.”

    James H. Morrison: Rights for All Louisiana Congressman James Morrison, serving in the United States House of Representatives from 1943 to 1967, did not fit the mold of a Deep South white politician in the 20th century. A moderate on civil rights issues, rather than a typical staunch segregationist, he supported the important Voting Rights Act of 1965, which aimed to extend a voice to voiceless southern blacks. In voting for this act, Morrison lost re-election to Congress in 1966 (“J.H Morrison”). Morrison voted for the Act, exemplifying political courage as described by John F. Kennedy in Profiles in Courage when he “triumphed over all personal and political considerations” and followed his conscience (Kennedy 18). The Voting Rights…
