#MLK urged #LBJ to enact the executive order that #Trump revoked on #MLKDay.

Trump's choice to eliminate a 60-year-old executive order supporting affirmative action represents a direct assault on civil rights and the advancement of racial equity. It is appalling that he would undermine initiatives designed to fight discrimination while claiming to have achieved more for Black Americans than any president since Lincoln. The irony is profound, especially when we remember that Lyndon B. Johnson not only signed the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act but also reinforced affirmative action to tackle systemic inequalities.
