Actually he engineered the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and knew just what it would take to get it passed through the Senate. We need him now in the Senate. Later these civil rights acts built upon that Act in 1957. The time was right. The brutal murder of Emmett Till in 1955 finally pushed enough of the public to demand a civil rights act, even though it was quite weak.
We have seen the same happen last year, some eleven years after the brutal murder of Matthew Wayne Shepard.
