Today ALL US parties and politicians are in favour of the Civil Rights act. But it was Democrat president Kennedy who had it drafted and Democat President Johnson who guided it through Congress. In all fairness, most Republicans voted in favour of the Civil Rights Act as well and a minority of Republican AND Democrat congressmen voted against it. But that had mostly to do with their Southern States background, not with the convictions of the Democrat and Republican parties as a whole.
