Regarding LBJ, here's why I really think that "200 years" quote is akin to what you guys do with MLK's one quote:
"Johnson was greatly supported by the Democratic Party and as President, he was responsible for designing the "Great Society" legislation that included laws that upheld
civil rights, public broadcasting, Medicare, Medicaid, environmental protection, aid to education, aid to the arts, urban and rural development, and his "War on Poverty." "
"Civil rights bills signed by Johnson banned racial discrimination in public facilities, interstate commerce, the workplace, and housing, and a powerful voting rights act guaranteed full voting rights for citizens of all races."
"In conjunction with the Civil Rights Movement, Johnson overcame southern resistance and convinced the Democratic-Controlled Congress to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which outlawed most forms of racial segregation."
"Johnson took the initiative in finishing what Kennedy started and
broke a filibuster by Southern Democrats in March 1964; as a result, this pushed the bill for passage in the Senate"
"In 1965, he achieved passage of a second civil rights bill, the Voting Rights Act, which outlawed discrimination in voting,
thus allowing millions of southern blacks to vote for the first time."
"After the murder of civil rights worker Viola Liuzzo, Johnson went on television to announce the arrest of four Ku Klux Klansmen implicated in her death.
He angrily denounced the Klan as a "hooded society of bigots," and warned them to "return to a decent society before it's too late."
Johnson was the first President to arrest and prosecute members of the Klan since Ulysses S. Grant about 93 years earlier"
"In 1967,
Johnson nominated civil rights attorney Thurgood Marshall to be the first African American Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. To head the new Department of Housing and Urban Development,
Johnson appointed Robert C. Weaver—the first African-American cabinet secretary in any U.S. presidential administration."
"In 1968 Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1968, which provided for equal housing opportunities regardless of race, creed, or national origin."
"On April 5, Johnson wrote a letter to the United States House of Representatives urging passage of the Fair Housing Act"
"Johnson signed the Immigration Act of 1965,[72] which substantially changed U.S. immigration policy toward non-Europeans.[73] According to OECD, "While European-born immigrants accounted for nearly 60% of the total foreign-born population in 1970, they accounted for only 15% in 2000."
Now, what were the conservative republicans who allegedly "love" and "care" for "the Blacks" doing when the above was happening? What were the likes of the modern conservative movement doing when the above was happening, did they support it or OPPOSE it?
"Reagan did not support federal initiatives to provide blacks with civil rights.[34] He opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964[35] and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson"
"He (Reagan) also said (while campaigning in Georgia) that Confederate President Jefferson Davis was "a hero of mine."[40] However, Reagan was offended that some accused him of racism.[40] In 1980 Reagan said the Voting Rights Act was "humiliating to the South,""
"At first Reagan opposed the Martin Luther King holiday, and signed it only after an overwhelming veto-proof majority (338 to 90 in the House of Representatives and 78 to 22 in the Senate) voted in favor of it.[47] Congress overrode Reagan's veto of the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1988."
"Early in his political career Reagan opposed every major piece of civil rights legislation adopted by Congress, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Fair Housing Act of 1968."
