        "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."-LBJ from 1963

        That's Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. He held a doctorate in Theology from Boston U. and was a Christian minister. Let's not forget that it was his discipleship of Christ that motivated his activism. It's unfair to his legacy to omit that, sir.

        Nice photo depicting civility & collaboration. We have all fallen short; humans r complex. Other than Jesus, none r without flaws/failings/sin. That doesn't mean flawed people cannot make great contributions, & we do. He who is sinless, cast the 1st stone.

        True ladycreole concerning civility/collaboration of both men. What I see from the photo despite any type of criticism people may level at LBJ & MLK, is each truly tried to build political bridges of understanding, nurture a future better United States

        Thank you, great photo. MLK's body language indicating that LBJ's approach to civil rights was different than Eisenhower's ?pic.twitter.com/erUmyd9t2O

        White authoritarians still fighting this war and they have become a majority in GOP primaries.
