Make sure she points out that 80% of the Republicans voted for it but only 60% of the Democrats.

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.
