Maybe , maybe not. Maybe LBJ saw the writing on the wall that civil rights was inevitable and he decided to get the liberals on the right side of the issue. Remember, the Dems were united against civil rights in the 1950's, the Kennedy Family opposed Ike's Civil Rights act of 1957. The libs hated Ike for integrating the schools in Little Rock and elsewhere.
Conservatives have been against every emancipation effort in this country since its founding...
What conservative politician spoke out in favor of abolition?? what conservative politician was known for his strong pro-civil rights stance in the 50's and 60's??
Were those people being murdered in the south for going around and registering voters conservatives??
Remember it was libs like Orval B. Faubus and George C. Wallace that opposed civil rights, while conservatives like General Eisenhower who sent the Army to liberal towns like the Clinton's Little Rock to desegregate the schools.
MLK was a Dittohead, make no mistake about it. His beloved niece, Alveda King, carries on his Tremendous Tea Party traditions.

George Wallace was a liberal? Where did you read that?
Where did you get the idea that Gov. Wallace wasn't a lib?
He endorsed Hard Core Ultraliberal Jimmy Carter for President.
Wallace endorsed Carter, because Carter stood up for him during Carter's days a "'not so liberal" candidate for governor. By the time that Carter ran for president in 1976, Wallace's days as a hardcore segregationist were fading, and Carter had become more liberal.
A lot happened to the social and political landscape between the era of the fight for civil rights in the early to mid 60'S and the early to mid 70's.
I am old enough to have witnessed it, and I did.
There was no way that Wallace was considered a liberal during the 60's, if ever at all.
He actually ended up near the end of his life practically begging black people for forgiveness because of his segregationist past and some were even gullible enough to believe him to be sincere.
Google is your friend. Look it up.
