JFK ordered the wire taps and Robert Kennedy carried them out,now we have Ted Kennedy crying that's illegal,one thing for Liberals they swing both ways at the same time,but then again everyone in this country knows the Kennedys made their fortune thru illegal means

Even MLK thought Jesse Jackson's motives were bad and saw him as a publicity hound. \n\nNo, don't make him to Nigeria. He's too entertaining to watch.\n\nI wish African-Americans would just tell him to STFU, because he represents Blacks very poorly, and only has his own interests at heart.

Rev. Martin Luther King, Sr. (December 19, 1899–November 11, 1984) was a Baptist minister, an early civil rights leader and an advocate for social justice. He was also the father of American civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., who was born in 1929. The elder King led the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia, and his personal example helped inspire Martin Luther King Jr. to enter the ministry. King Sr. was also a significant leader of the civil rights movement, becoming the head of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People chapter in Atlanta and of the Civic and Political League, and encouraging his son to become active in the movement. After King Jr.'s death, his father continued to be active in public life, and played a role in Jimmy Carter's presidential victory in 1976.

Martin Luther King Jr.\n\nI would ask him from where, besides god, he drew his strong moral convictions, and his opinion on the present state of our country.\n\n\nPS: I am not being overly "PC." The guy who asked that questions REPEATEDLY asks racist questions and talks condescendingly of other races. My answer wasn't based on that ONE question. Don't be so quick to judge.

This may be pretty close:\n\nFirst African-American entertained at the White House\n\nIn 1901, right after Theodore Roosevelt was sworn in as President after the death of President William McKinley, he invited Booker T. Washington of the Tuskegee Institute to the White House for a meeting. The meeting ran late, and TR invited Mr. Washington to dinner. This was the first time that an African-American was entertained at the White House as a guest.\n\nThe newspapers in the South went ballistic; the papers in the North weren't too supportive either. The Memphis "Scimiter" said that it was "the most damnable outrage that has ever been perpetrated by any citizen of the United States." Roosevelt claimed he had invited a friend to dinner with his family and it was no one else's business.\n\nAfter that, TR met with Booker T. Washington at the home of his sister, Anna Roosevelt Cowles, and had dinner with him there. He also met with Mr. Washington in New York City in 1910, after TR returned home from his trip to Africa and Europe. TR wanted an update about what had been happening while he was away.\n\nIn his Memorial Day speech in 1902, TR spoke out against the lynching of\nAfrican-Americans in the South. He did so several times, actually.

It has been alleged that United States President Warren G. Harding was inducted into the Ku Klux Klan during his administration. The evidence is highly disputed.

Lyndon B Johnson's lasting contribution was that he was the first US President to take a strong stand and get the Federal Government involved in protecting the rights of African Americans.\n\nIn 1963, when Alabama Governor George Wallace refused to allow two black students to attend the University of Alabama, President Johnson sent in the National Guard to make sure they did.\n\nLyndon Johnson was a friend to Martin Luther King, Jr and his cause, and used his power as President to support it.  And THAT should be considered his lasting contribution.

Do you mean "Who was the first president of the USA to watch a movie in the White House?"

Bill Clinton.  Not sure of his religion because he did not make a big deal about it.  When he left office the deficit was at 0 (zero).  He tried to get Bin Laden but the republican congress would not allow him.  Ken Starr spent how many millions of dollars to investigate a bj.  I read his book, very interesting reading from a very intelligent and articulate man.

Andrew Jackson. Partyers followed him to the White House to celebrate and his aides had to fill washtubs with orange juice and whisky on the lawn to get them out of the White House.LOL

Could you please provide me with the name of 1 American citizen that "the president" spied on?  The president did NOT snub the law as many of you like to say in this section.

Even if Bush is just trying to get minorities to support him, he has still posted a number of minorities to very powerful positions in the government.  The highest ranking African American in Bill Clintons administration was his secretary, Mary Curry.\n\nLiberals need to learn that you have to be prepared to do what you are telling everyone else they should do.\n\nKind of off topic; why is Ted Kennedy (who is supposedly an enlightened liberal) blocking the installation of a wind-power generation farm to the east of Martha's Vineyard?

they were all civil rights leaders, and worked toward that end using some variety of non-violent action. Booker T. went toward the "boot-straps" idea, DuBois was more about getting the white man off his back, and MLK took to the streets.

LBJ was the better one (36)  Lyndon Baines Johnson...his agenda was "The Great Society" and he became president after JFK's death.
