The Civil Rights Act of 1964, The Voting Rights Act of 1965, Loving v. Virginia, Brown v. Board of Education--the list goes on and on. None of these were accomplished by empty-headed acts of destroying your own neighborhoods. The '68 riots accomplished nothing. Places like Detriot have never recovered and likely never will. But you're free to indulge in your fantasies.
