There is one other use of the #CivilRightsAct hashtag Sunday,
The anniversary was reported by CBS News and other outlets, but there was bupkis in the Fedi. 🤷♂️
▶️ I saw nary a mention here today of the fact that #LBJ signed the 1964 #CivilRightsAct into law on July 2, 1964.

The #CivilRightsAct was signed into law 59 years ago today. With the current #SCOTUS, there's no guarantee it will make it to 60.
#Racism is not "ancient #history". I was ten years old when this aired!! 😲
In 1972, JB #Stoner ran for #US #Senate as a #Democrat from #Georgia. He came in 5th in the state's #primary #election. 😠
He campaigned as "the only #candidate for the whites", was against #integration and the #CivilRightsAct. He asks Georgians to "#vote #white #racist." 😢

Guess the hat trick for the day in national news is that the #SupremeCourt decided not to completely eviscerate the #CivilRightsAct. #JohnRoberts and #BrettKavanaugh sided with the liberal justices to rule #Alabama's districts racist.

It was a mistake, IMO, for Democrats in Congress to treat the #EqualityAct and #CROWNAct as separate bills. They should have folded both into a single #CivilRightsAct.
