On this day in 1937, sixteen Republican Senators voted against confirming a former Ku Klux Klan member to the U.S. Supreme Court. Senator Hugo Black (D-AL) was known to have been in the KKK, but President Franklin Roosevelt and the Democratic Party and the media kept the documentary proof hidden until after his confirmation.
The smart thing would to have been to vote against Roosevelt and the Democrat party. Protestants did that, 1936 was the last time that the Democratic party won their support, except for 1964.
The black vote flipped in 1936, not 1960.
...”That’s it. A phone call beat real reform and flipped the Black vote to Democrats”.
Thanks for the info! I seriously never knew that.

The Democrats/media dropped the Klan when they found new organizations to advance their goals.
Precisely
