LBJ did Blacks no favors here, and as I understand it, it took Republicans to get the things passed.

It took Republican votes to pass the Civil Rights and the Voting Rights bills.

The "War on Poverty" welfare bills enjoyed near-unanimous Democrat support.

Did it take Republican support to make both these bills law?

Yes.
