Is he in photo with man who strongly opposed Civil Rights act? Civil Rights act 1964 Byrd filibustered for hours (what did he say?) Democrats filibuster was 84 days. Southern Democrats opposed it. It passed due to huge GOP support in both Houses and Northern Dems

“Southern Democrats opposed it”

As did the 1964 Republican candidate for President. The leader of the conservative movement in the mid 1960s, Barry Goldwater.

Of course Goldwater was despised by GOP liberals, and some Republicans, like Senator Kuchel of California, openly backed Lyndon Johnson’s election.
