=============================
Whaa? I never said anything about struggles starting in the DP. I said this:

"The epic battles for union rights and civil rights involved both mass
moblization and legislative action by Democratic administrations - the
Wagner Act under Roosevelt and the Civil Rights Act under Johnson. Both
pieces of legislation fell short of what the unions and the black movement
wanted, but each was welcomed as by them as an important advance."

Please, Art, let's not get revved up again. I bet most everyone thinks
we've said all there is to say on this well canvassed subject for now. I
certainly think so.
