Description | Cartoon shows a man (labeled "Congress") in his stocking feet trying to tiptoe away from his shadow (labeled "Civil Rights Program"). From his pocket protrudes a paper reading "'58 Plans." In 1957, Congress passed the first significant civil rights legislation since Reconstruction. The final bill was much watered down by legislators who feared the consequences of their vote in the next election. |
