During the 1976 campaign, it surfaced that in the 1950s {former President} Carter himself as a school board member had tried to block new black schools as part of Byzantine efforts to circumvent integration. Why am I NOT surprised?
Several years ago, a black acquaintance of mine was absolutely insistant that all of the southern governors who had fought school integration through the 1950s and 60s were evil Republicans. They just had to be.
He was completely amazed to find that they were, in fact, all Democrats and that it was a Republican president who sent in federal troops to enforce court-ordered desegregation.

As you noticed, control of the MSM has it's advantages - keeping the lid on truth is one of them. Blacks in congress didn't know Byrd was a member of the KKK until just a few years ago...
