How Sen. Robert Byrd went from being a member of the KKK to being the longest-serving member of the US Senate and winning the praise of the NAACP.
On Strom Thurmond, I was not aware of him, although he wasn't a Democrat, he is listed as having ran under this party :
Dixiecrat - Wikipedia
States' Rights Democratic Party officially, which was a considered a split from the Democratic party, article also states after losing to Truman, some members of that party shifted towards the Democrats and Strom abandoned the Dixiecrats and went Republican from there on out.
But yeah, Biden definitely had ties to segregationists, from what I'm reading, it was something I was aware of but not in detail. That in combination with his approach to segregation based policy at the time and his comments on it.
