Never a fiery orator nor a seeker of headlines, nevertheless, eighteen years in the upper house of Congress earned Phil Hart the title of "The Conscience of the Senate" by colleagues in both parties. Author and sponsor of critical legislation, particularly in the areas of civil rights, antitrust enforcement, and consumer and environmental protection, Hart took great pride in the fact that he was a leader in the Senate fight for the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
He was intelligent and committed, idealistic and courageous, honest and humble, taking stands on controversial issues. A role model for many, an inspiration to others, the extent of his influence was demonstrated in the fall of 1976 as he was retiring from the Senate and dying of cancer.
