June 23, 1964, LBJ talks to Mississippi Senator James Eastland about the missing civil rights workers in his state. Eastland does not believe they are really missing:
“…There’s not a Ku Klux Klan in that area. There’s not a Citizen’s Council in that area. There’s no organized white man in that area. So that’s why I think it’s a publicity stunt. Now, if it had happened in other areas, uh, I would pay more attention to it, but I happen to know that some of these bombings where nobody gets hurt are publicity stunts.”
Men rarely show up on Cool Chicks from History, but as Lady Bird shows up in some of the images and the civil rights movement is important to everyone, I’m reblogging this video which I think is worth watching.
