@Reuters The party founded to liberate black people — later stolen by White People
And, not one word about it.
It's as if it never happened.
And yet, technically, this would be The First Southern Strategy.
@Reuters In the book, Maude Cuney Hare documents the rise of two southern strategies: A lily-white strategy to denegrofy the Republican Party, and the Black-and-Tan efforts to stop them.
@Reuters White Supremacist aren't the only ones with foresight!
@Reuters "Father asked no quarter in the coming struggle and would give none. The White Republicans, angered, attempted to influence the colored delegates to split on the color question."
