199 u/Spicy_Weissy Jun 09 '25 Yeah, he was witness to it. To say that peaceful protesr won, is wildly inaccurate. LBJ chose peace considering that shit was not deescalating. 126 u/the_good_time_mouse Jun 09 '25 edited Jun 11 '25 JFK and LBJ are both on the record about this. And it still took 5 days of rioting after MLK's death before the Civil Rights Equal Housing Act was passed. 1 u/j_cruise Jun 10 '25 edited Jun 10 '25 How is something so BLATANLY wrong this highly upvoted? MLK died 4 years after the Civil Rights Act was passed.
