No one imagined it in the 1920s because they had already imagined it in the 1860s but got Jim Crow instead.

Those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

And yet, those who didn't imagine it in the 1920's still got civil rights in the 1960s.

So in your view, what were we supposed to learn from history?

Australia had a ban on non-white immigrants till 1955, civil rights weren’t a US only issue.
