[Theodore R.]

Didn’t Eisenhower win the majority of black votes in 1956?

No, the GOP always and easily won the black vote until 1936 and then it reversed and the democrats have always and easily won the black vote ever since.

It is very mysterious how it happened without any gradual changes as they gradually switched parties with fits and starts, it just happened as though they vote as a group.
