Quote of the Day
"Go back to the newspaper indexes for the years immediately preceding the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and you will find a steady sequence of stories about hotel chains and restaurants and other service providers renouncing racial favouritism or segregation in their operations. Replay the kinescopes of newscasts and documentaries or read the civil rights coverage in Time and Newsweek from the years just before 1964, and you will observe a nation run by whites coming to grips with the injustice of racial prejudice in ways that would have been unthinkable a decade earlier. America did not make progress against racism because Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964; Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 because the nation was so committed to make progress against racism." - Charles Murray
