Kevin Bacon to Strom Thurmond, in 3 leaps

Kevin Bacon was in Loverboy (2005) with Matt Dillon, who was in Malcom X (1992) with Al Sharpton...
...who is descended from former slaves of Strom Thurmond. Really.

I REALLY hope this brings up a series of "who's related to the slaves of who" factoids.

Thanks Oracle of Bacon
