the white house
cold war liberalism emerged at a time when most african-americans, especially in the south, were politically and economically disenfranchised. beginning with "to secure these rights", an official report issued by the truman white house in 1947, self-proclaimed liberals increasingly embraced the civil rights movement. in 1948, president truman desegregated the armed forces and the democrats inserted a strong civil rights plank or provision in the democratic party platform. black activists, most prominently martin luther king, escalated the bearer agitation throughout the south, especially in birmingham, alabama, where brutal police tactics outraged national television audiences. the civil rights movement climaxed in the march on washington in august 1963, where king gave his dramatic "i have a dream" speech. the activism put civil rights at the very top of the liberal political agenda and facilitated passage of the decisive civil rights act of 1964 which permanently ended segregation in the united states and the voting rights act of 1965 which guaranteed blacks the right to vote, with strong enforcement provisions throughout the south handled by the federal department of justice.
