        LBJ said this would cost the Democratic Party elections and he was right. Nixon's southern strategy worked for most of the next 25 years

        LBJ sponsored civil rights long before (it was toothless but it still chipped away at Jim Crow) The Civil Rights Act of 1957, Pub.L. 85–315, 71 Stat. 634,

        Do you truly think there was any appetite on the other side of the aisle to embrace bipartisanship with President Obama? A picture like this would have been politically suicidal for any Republican.

        And please remember Robert F Kennedy as well. They may have had their personal battles, however, in the end, progress was made. I fear the current administration has brought back hate. Never forget those that lost lives not only fighting for our country and democracy. All lives.

        BO talking about LBJ, "During his first 20 years in Congress," Obama said, "he opposed every civil rights bill that came up for a vote, once calling the push for federal legislation a farce and a shame." &who wrote Jim Crow, segregated the military, owned slaves? Democrats
