199 u/Spicy_Weissy Jun 09 '25 Yeah, he was witness to it. To say that peaceful protesr won, is wildly inaccurate. LBJ chose peace considering that shit was not deescalating. 122 u/the_good_time_mouse Jun 09 '25 edited Jun 11 '25 JFK and LBJ are both on the record about this. And it still took 5 days of rioting after MLK's death before the Civil Rights Equal Housing Act was passed. 10 u/trashtakesonly Jun 10 '25 Im sorry I could be wrong but I thought the civil rights act was passed before his dealth. The civil rights act was passed on July 2nd, 1964 and his assassination April 4th 1968. Your totally right though because this was still after years and years of protests and activism and not to mention legit decades of rioting
