LA Times claims Democrats led passage of Civil Rights Act; Larry Elder rebuts

Either the LA Times is trying to rewrite history or they are just plain stupid.  I pick both.  The Party of Jim Crow hated blacks.  And those that continually vote D are deluding themselves into thinking Ds have their back.

According to the article linked by Elder...,

Only 64 percent of Democrats in Congress voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act (153 for, 91 against in the House; and 46 for, 21 against in the Senate). But 80 percent of Republicans (136 for, 35 against in the House; and 27 for, 6 against in the Senate) voted for the 1964 Act.
