I agree, Woodrow Wilson's record on race relations was not very good.
Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke out against lynching, found the poll tax reprehensible, and met in the White House with African American civil rights leaders.
Sixty years ago, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed into law one of the most significant pieces of civil rights legislation in history — the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It prohibited discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
