JFK and RFK actually did though. If JFK was still alive, he would have definitely signed those bills.

    Mr Freeman misspoke when he described Wallace of Alabama as having been “re-elected in 1962”: he was elected for the first time (Alabama law, at the time, prohibited a governor from succeeding himself). The phone conversation between Martin Luther King and LBJ with King’s actual voice and an actor playing Johnson struck me as meretricious. Johnson did indeed fight for the civil rights act, and the historical record bears it out. His mishandling of Vietnam and Latin America turned a lot of people off. I am old enough to have supported Eugene McCarthy.
