I support the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.

No Republican questions or disputes civil rights. I have never wavered in my support for civil rights or the civil rights act.

What gets lost is that the Republican Party has always been the party of civil rights and voting rights.

The Voting Rights Act was really the whole core of the civil rights movement. It made a tremendous improvement, ... There was a new recognition of black citizenship.

It is difficult to overstate the importance of the Civil Rights Act.

I favor the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and it must be enforced at gunpoint if necessary.
