Michael Imhotep host of “The African History Network Show” looks at the little known history of why African Americans switched from the Republican Party (The Party of Lincoln) to the Democratic Party. Contrary to popular belief, it largely was not because of The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and The Voting Rights Act of 1965. The party re-alignment goes back decades before to the 1920s and understand the migration of African Americans to the North. The Republican Party was increasingly ignoring the concerns of African Americans. This is why understanding history is so important. We look at the Lily White Movement of 1928, The Southen Strategy, The Great Migration of 1915 - 1970, The Civil Rights Movement and more. 2 DVDs - 3 Hrs Recorded May 3rd 2019
