Lyndon Johnson actually said...

"This bill that we will sign today is not a revolutionary bill."

"It corrects a cruel and enduring wrong in the conduct of the American Nation."

"We can now believe that it will never again shadow the gate to the American Nation with the twin barriers of prejudice and privilege."

"I am asking the Department of State to seek through the Swiss Government immediately the agreement of the Cuban Government in a request to the President of the International Red Cross Committee."
