And liberals never mention, that Eisenhower, a Republican president, took this action. Liberals who revere the Democrats as being the party which pushed civil rights issues, never acknowledge the actions of Republicans, as Republicans, when they castigate the GOP as the party of racism and all that.
They also have a very convenient amnesia regarding the fact that it was democrat governors blocking school desegregation.
I visited the Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, located where MLK was shot. They had a section which heralded the actions of Eisenhower and the National Guard.
In another area, they had a B&W TV playing a clip of Robert KKK Byrd being a racist, and referring to "nigras".
