@Suprkit actually "they" already were both free and equal ..only unjust (enforced) circumstances made it otherwise ..but compared to having constant no stop generational social strife like Northern Ireland had i suspose this was a much better outcome then many other countries with the same problem

Say what you will about Lyndon Johnson, but on civil rights, he unquestionably did more than any president since the civil war, delivering the most important civil rights law ever, then following it up with an equally strong voting rights law a year later. He was also wise enough to know that laws alone wouldn't guarantee equality as long as one group had everything and another had nothing. That's what the Great Society was to address.
If only it weren't for that blasted war in Asia...

Each of those pens is given to a political supporter, a friend, or some other dignitary. This way each can say he has the pen that signed the bill.

One of THE most historic moments in history...all the men, women, and children who died to ensure that America would at last accomplish its most basic principle that ALL MEN (WOMEN) were endowed with certain inalienable rights...and that day was only the beginning or an everlasting call to be a truly equitable and just society, no matter the race, politics, religion, gender, size, sexual identity, economic status, age or heritage.
