"It is a third irony that Ted Cabot, who as a state senator helped sponsor legislation to authorize Broward County 's purchase of Colored Beach in 1955, would seven years later as Broward circuit judge effectively desegregate Broward's public beaches by denying the City of Fort Lauderdale's request to enjoin the wade-ins", according to William G. Crawford Jr.
