Thank you LBJ for absolutely strong arming the F*** out of congress to get the civil rights and voting rights bills passed. That man was flawed like everyone else in history but man did he have some heroic moments.
So uh hi…2023 here. What's a voting rights act and who the f is roe/wade?
Oh God.

Just to pick some nits: At 08:36 technically the occupation of Alcatraz was done by a group that called itself the Indians of All Tribes, not by the American Indian Movement (AIM).
