What's this?

Republicans had good standing until Goldwater, Kennedy, and Johnson.

Nixon had significant black support in 1960 -- Jackie Robinson, for example. Bill McCulloch, GOP rep from what became Boehner's district, helped get the 1964 Civil Rights Act through Congress. Nelson Rockefeller had worked with Martin Luther King Jr. on several occasions, unlike Kennedy or Johnson who only knew him casually.

Goldwater voted against the 1964 Civil Rights Act and began the political transformation of the two major parties.
