Talk:Southern Manifesto
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Well done. All information, no posturing. --Wetman 21:01, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Should the Manifesto itself go to Wikisource, leaving the commentary and a summary here? I believe that is the routine for source material like this. Cheers, -Willmcw 10:49, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
The Note at the end of list of Senators signing is extraneous and does not appear in original source text:
Note: Senators Lyndon Johnson of Texas and Estes Kefauver and Albert Gore of Tennessee were the only Southern senators who refused to sign.
I don't see anyone arguing against moving the text of the manifesto to Wikisource. Unless someone does do, I'll make the move. Cheers, -Willmcw 02:06, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Change Title
This title should be Southern Manifesto not The Southern Manifesto, as repeadtedly is errors are made when linking to this page. The Voting Rights Act and The Civil Rights Act of 1964 are similiarly not titled as such
Here is an interesting fact: Lyndan Johnson, who was at that time the senate majority leader, was never asked to sign, nor did he receive the document. Legislators felt his devotion to Civil Rights would stand in their way. Minche, 2006
