Also point out that it was a Democrat who federalized segregation (Woodrow Wilson), it was Democrats who opposed anti-lynching legislation in the 1930s, it was Democrats who successfully watered down the Civil Rights Acts of the 1950s, and it was Democrats who opposed (and to this day continue to oppose) equal protection guaranteed by the 14th Amendment. Be sure to also point out that it was a Republican (Eisenhower) who brought an end to federal segregation and integrated Little Rock schools, and it was a Republican (Everett Dirksen) who wrote the Voting Rights Act.

Wow, you seem very knowledgeable of the topic.

With that being the case, could you please name one Republican from the South in the House or Senate that voted on favor of the Civil Rights Act of 1964?

The South was almost entirely Democrat at the time. I do not know how many House members were Republicans, but of the 22 Southern Senators, only one was a Republican. He was the only Republican to join 21 Democrats in their filibuster against the bill. But overall, 81% of Republicans voted in favor in both Houses.
