Message: From GoLocalWorcester by Rob Horowitz, GoLocalWorcester MINDSETTER™: Last week President Obama and former Presidents George W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton came together at a Civil Rights Summit held at the LBJ library to mark the 50th anniversary of the adoption of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and to celebrate the man who was instrumental in bringing it about. As Robert Caro describes in The Passage of Power, the fourth volume of his epic and authoritative Johnson biography, the newly sworn-in president—just 4 days after the assassination of John F. Kennedy—was determined to make passage of the Civil Rights Act, put forward by Kennedy, his highest legislative priority. He did so over the strong objections of most of his advisers, who argued there was little chance of success and that he would put the rest of his legislative agenda at risk by antagonizing the powerful southerners who controlled most of the committees. http://www.golocalworcester.com/politics/rob-horowitz-the-civil-rights-act-50-years-later
