Strom and Al, Separated Before Birth?

The New York Daily News is running a multipart story which says the great grandfather of Al Sharpton was a slave once owned by a relative of Strom Thurmond.
  • Coleman Sharpton, a woman and two children - believed by genealogists to be his wife and kids - were given as a gift to Julia Thurmond, and were forced to move to Florida.
  • Julia Thurmond's grandfather is Strom Thurmond's great-great-grandfather.
