Yes, but the Republican Party completely disregards its own history. The GOP freed the slaves, the KKK was the terrorist wing of the Democratic Party, Susan B. Anthony and most of the other suffragists were Republicans -- but not even most Republican activists know that.
Add to that that Martin Luther King Jr. was also a Republican. The Left doesn't mention that little tidbit any time King's name is mentioned.
