        When presidents had character, and fought for the good. Whereas now they fight mostly for high finance, corporate power

        @thumppooh. Executive Order because Congress was dysfunctional then as well.

        Changed my dad's life. White boy from IA played b'ball with M. Lemon. Became fiercely anti-racist. RIP. 1925-2008.

        Important to note that it took YEARS to implement. Units such as the 2nd Ranger Infantry Company (Airborne) fought in Korea.

        The power of a president. Surely Trump would never sign such an equivalent order today.
