Maybe the single most important law in the history of the USA

[@cocotaveras8975]

jojopuppyfish Agreed! Along with the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

[@BreezeDaDon]

The second most important law ever signed in America EVER! who are the 11 people who disliked this...?

[@robertpolityka8464]

He probably used a different pen for every letter of his name.

[@donaldcash113]

Does anybody know the time of day this was broadcast?

[@wilchambers1401]

That was alot of pens

[@cocotaveras8975]

Wil Chambers YEP!

[@michaelpollutro2346]

He used 75 pens

[@Tropper73]

In a time of cancel culture and wokeness it is quite enlightening/clarifying to see the amount of views and likes on this video.

[@jonalderson5571]

Agreed, it's so ridiculous when leftists try to cancel LBJ. He did the most to reduce racism of any president

[@NkrumahTure]

Now where did this take place in the east room of the White House?

Bobby kennedy😍

TheBlogger 7 Amazing man with a beautiful heart and immense honor and compassion.

[@minewheaties5029]

@@cocotaveras8975 Not at all. He likely even advised Joseph McCarthy more than Roy Cohn did. Look up the con's role in the McCarthy witch-hunts

[@bradypatrick5405]

J Edgar Hoover? HAHAHAHAHAAH. He was so against this bill!

[@minewheaties5029]

@★ Froggie Animation ★ No, J Edgar Hoover , who I acknowledge did have his fwas even willing to prosecute those involved in Mississippi Burning. RFK was a bigger monster who was quick to side with the allegations that Jack O'Dell and Stanley Levison were Communists. The "temporary" claims are pure nonsense and your claims can't help the Kennedys get back into Congress or block education about his role in the McCarthy Witch-hunts.

[@allprofits3092]

I wonder at the time if they knew the impact of what they have actually done.....

[@kgkgaming06]

You know, I love JFK and I’m sad he died...but he could have never gotten this bill through if he hadnt died. LBJ was experienced and had influence. I’m sorry JFK, but you had to die. No one wanted it. But in the end, it needed to happen.

[@gluebluerock136]

same thing, it is hard to imagine i country that has jim crow laws to suddenly flip and go the other direction. something tragic had to happen.

[@NkrumahTure]

Damn... You cold-blooded.
