Civil Rights in Party Platforms

February 16, 2012

I have not written anything this month on Black history and the relation to conservative politics.  A part of that is the fact that I am not sure if I am the most qualified to talk about such topics…but I do know a little bit.  Today I thought I would share a link to a Wallbuilders document that pulls out the civil rights elements of the two major political parties’ platforms from 1840 to 1964.   Pretty cool if you like history…although if you are a democrat you might not think so.  It does give hope.  Perhaps in the future the Democratic Party will change their positions on things equally as heinous, such as abortion.

Also should link to the NBRA.  I have referenced articles by Frances Rice before …they are always a good resource in my opinion.  Have a blessed day.
