Inspired by a true story, STROM
THURMOND IS NOT A RACIST is an
absurdist look at the absurd life of Senator
Strom Thurmond. After fathering a child with
his black maid, the extremely white Strom
Thurmond became one of the countryâs
greatest segregationists, all while playing
daddy to young Essie Mae Washington
Williams. Whenâs a racist not a racist? How
could someone live such a duplicitous life?
