Harry F. Byrd Sr. was an influential American politician who served as Governor of Virginia and U.S. Senator from 1933 to 1965, known for leading the powerful Byrd Organization political machine.

Board of Education decision. His political legacy represents the complexities of Southern Democratic politics during the mid-20th century and the resistance to civil rights reforms.
