BTW: According to the Wikipedia, there was more REPUBLICAN support, ultimately, for the CRA of ‘64 than DEMOCRAT…

[Link: en.wikipedia.org…]

Why yes there was!

Also back then, I’m not sure if you knew this, but Strom Thurmond was a Democrat!

The CRA of 1964 was the last hurrah of the Republicans being the party of Lincoln. They helped passed it, but then 80-95% of the racists democrats left the party to join the GOP, and cue Nixon’s Southern Strategy which got us where we are today.
