Z, > By the same reasoning, we'd still have Jim Crow.

It was the minority led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. that convinced the majority to pass civil rights legislation.

Don't kid yourself....certainly MLK played a role but it was rioting and fighting in American cities and at its public schools which was damaging to America's world image that really pushed civil rights reform. After all, since WWII, we've been the beacon for democracy in the world.
