From the article: “Eisenhower avoided issues of race, and was silent on segregation.”

The writer doesn’t know anything about history.

Eisenhower also integrated the armed forces. Truman issued the order to integrate the forces, but the brass largely ignored the order. Eisenhower knew how to browbeat generals and admirals, and actually got the job done.

“Eisenhower avoided issues of race, and was silent on segregation.”

You're right this writer knows nothing about history.
