Never Forget!
Yeah, a Democrat president pushed through the 1964 civil rights act. But did you know that Republicans had tried before and were blocked!
"Before he took up the cause of civil rights as president, Lyndon Johnson acting as Senate majority leader blocked the GOP’s 1956 civil-rights bill, and gutted Eisenhower’s 1957 Civil Rights Act. Democratic senators filibustered the GOP’s 1960 Civil Rights Act."
