Fun Fact: On June 13, 1866, when the 39th Congress, which was controlled by Republicans, passed the 14th Amendment giving African Americans rights to due process and “equal protection” under law. It did so with not a single Democratic Representative’s vote. When the Senate voted to pass the 14th Amendment not a single Democrat supported it. Democratic Senator Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, an ardent segregationist, sustained the longest one-person filibuster in history in an attempt to keep the Civil Rights Act of 1957 bill from becoming law. His one-man filibuster lasted 24 hours and 18 minutes. The bill passed the House with a vote of 285 to 126 (Republicans 167-19 for, Democrats 118-107 for) and the Senate 72 to 18 (Republicans 43-0 for, Democrats 29-18 for). President Eisenhower signed it on September 9, 1957. So... dont get it twisted on who is racist and who is not. tan
