It was not a party issue it was a social issueAgainConservatives caused Selma
Those marching over the bridge were mostly Democrats
In 1961, the population of Dallas County was 57% black, but of the 15,000 blacks old enough to vote, only 130 were registered (fewer than 1%).
The Dems knew that if they could vote their raciest party was doomed.
Conservatives blocked the vote. Still do
Use the correct party who did it - Democrats.
You just refuse to see that Democrats were as racist then as they are now.
Who is the party today who refuse to give poor black children the right to chose a better school ? Dems
It was not a question of party......it was a question of north/south
But of course you know that and are trying to politicize a social issue
That is what you are doing when you refuse to recognize the party that did it.
100% of southern Republicans opposed the Civil Rights act
