coolidge was not lyndon johnson, who responded to trouble with phrase you've heard it the fierce urgencyof now action, action laws, laws. but he was not like woodrow wilson either, as chris cox shows and chris cox shows us what wilson was like. coolidge was no segregation ist. he called for anti-lynching legislation every year, and his message and that must have been slightly a strain for him because he was also a federalist. right. he's he called for legislation that told states what to do, but very, very interesting because he saw that the wrong was so great. he also publicly dressed down fellow republicans and normally he never hurt other republicans who did not want to see african americans run for office. that he believed in education, he believed in opportunity he offered opportunity, and that progress would with that. but he more gradualist. as we said this morning, more incrementalist than america's lightly sticking to principle is painful. all of us have. the issue is only how one suppresses it, isn't it so cool? i think coolidge did suppresses vanity, but he was often grumpy ab

much so that those images and the marches that followed soon afterward, helped give president lyndon johnson power he needed for passage of the voting rights act of 1965, just five months later, the law guaranteed that everyone had the right to vote, and in doing so, it made america a true democracy for the first time. but that democracy has eroded over time. in 2013, the supreme court gutted section five of the voting rights act, a key provision that required jurisdictions with a history of discrimination to clear voting rule changes with the justice department. on wednesday, house democrats reintroduced the john lewis voting rights advancement act, a measure seeking to stop the erosion of voting rights. but with a republican controlled congress and president trump in the white house, it's likely going nowhere. remember, trump ran on his plans to dismantle diversity. and while republican resistance to civil rights is nothing new, what we're witnessing right now is a cultural shift. by voting trump into office, millions of americans have participated in the rollback of the protections secure

medicaid was created 60 years ago by president lyndon johnson to provide health care for low income andllion people across the us, including nearly half of all children in rural areas. house republicans say the budget doesn't even mention medicaid, but if they're forcing the committee overseeing the program to find $880 billion in savings, this impending quest for nearly $1 trillion in funding is so bad that even josh hawley, the conservative republican senator from missouri, is among the republicans pushing back. >> i'm not going to vote for medicaid. >> cuts, but. >> if it cuts work. >> requirements, fine. but 21%. >> of the residents. >> of my state receive medicaid. >> or chip. that's a lot of people. >> families on medicaid are also pleading for the program to be protected. they spoke out tuesday at a protest at the capitol. >> they're trying to slash medicaid, which. >> is the only. reason my grandkids. >> see a doctor. including my youngest, who has adhd, autism, and ptsd from surviving two. >> floods in. >> our area in the past three years. medicaid is not simply a health care p

know, if anyone predicted that not only would trump rescind biden's dui executive orders, but lyndon johnson's affirmative action executive, i mean, go take that to stock market, that prognostication skill. so so you know but but you mere orders is not enough you see lots institutions merely their offices are moving people around are not really changing things you see, especially in higher ed, there's you know, massive resistance to these kinds of changes. and it'll take enforcement by the education department, by the. department of justice, civil rights division, state attorneys general. you know, in texas, texas, florida, we're one of the early adopters of abolishing dui bureaucracies. again, nothing to do with professors or professors saying class or what courses they teach. but just these non-teaching things. and yet a lot schools have just kind of played shuffling game. so it's, you know, the price of liberty sanity in this case is eternal vigilance. vigilance or two. to quote churchill, this isn't the end. it's not even the beginning of the end. it might be the end of the beginning. so i

often told to those of us who were too young to have been there on that original march, how, when lyndon johnson president, signed the civil rights act, doctor king said to him, now we need a voting rights act. and president johnson said, well, martin, i've used all my power. i can't get a voting rights act. and when they left the white house, andrew young with doctor king, who was an aide to doctor king andrew young, said, you heard what the president said, doctor king, he said he doesn't have the power. what are we going to do now? and doctor king said, well, i guess we're going back south and get him some power. and that led to the selma march to dramatize the need to vote. when they marched that sunday, they had no idea the troopers would do what they did. they were planning a ten day march, and in fact, they were tear gassed. they were beaten. amelia boynton, who had brought them to selma, tear gas and the drama of that being televised, outraged americans and led to the civil rights act. so every year people have gone back and reenacted that march. i've been there the last 25 years as i've
