I'd put my money on King,and take home big loot from the racist idiots who'd bet otherwise.

I would tend to call something like this simply a matter of good versus evil.

Are we talking about the old Strom Thurmond who displayed his white robes proudly or the "kinder, gentler" Strom of later years who kept his robes in a suitcase under the bed? I doubt that the later Strom would have had the nads to say how he REALLY felt in a debate. Either way (as everyone else points out) he was not MLK's intellectual or moral equal. Advantage King.

Yeah, it would be a cakewalk for MLK, but seeing Strom get beatdown would be kinda fun!

Waste of time because King had a doctorate of Philosophy from B.U. and would have buried ol' redneck Strom in anything resembling a debate. . .

History missed an opportunity for some incredible exchanges had television debates been as common a medium during the civil rights movement as today. Would that there were more recorded debates between civil rights figures and segregationist figures - but for the fact that the stakes were so high and civil rights workers were being jailed, injured, and killed in the exchanbe.

MLK and Strom would have made history though. It would have been funny to hear Strom and other conservatives argue: "It's not about racism. It's about states' rights."
