right and average white people did too. I watched as Dr. King preached, and made whites realize they were wrong to discriminate without making them feel guilty. That had huge impact and most whites on a mundane day to day level turned against racism. LBJ (Pres. Johnson) would never have been able to do what he did without majority white support. People changed and it was not just famous people, or political leadership who changed. Those people followed the masses.
