Venantius,
In my opinion President Eisenhower was just the same of one of
your signatories to the Declaration of Independence ie : General
George Washington.....he beleived that all men were equal ,except
Black people, It took Abraham Lincoln to declare the immorality of
slavery.
What did Gen. Eisenhower do in his eight years of presidency for
black men who had fought and died for the USA in the 2nd WW.?
It appears , as far he was concerned, they were just fit to sit
at the back of the buses. He did squat about the inequality of
racial segregation. it took a president like John F. Kennedy to declare
that segregation and denying the blacks equal opprtunity was immoral
and had to be done away with.
