Yes....although we have made great progress as a nation since then.....not perfect but great. The recent effort at voter suppression indeed effects people of color,even though the effort behind it may not be targeting skin color but rather what party a group is perceived to belong to. The terrible outcome and negative impact on our nation is the same however.

Presidents are a product of their times...the truly great ones.... Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt,FDR.....break the paradigm...or even just crack it.
