Question for all the civil rights historians here.
After World War 2 when Eisenhower was elected president. He wanted to pass civil rights legislation. So the president has a civil rights legislation drawn up in the mid 1950s.
It was not passed because the democrats control both houses in the mid 1950s
Is this true or not true ?
President Eisenhower signed two Civil Rights Acts, in 1957 and 1960. So the statement is untrue. Both acts were met with widespread opprobrium in the South.
