A Kings Park Boy Scout has earned special recognition after helping beautify his local community. Suffolk County Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga) congratulated James Brauer of Boy Scout Troop 75 for achieving the rank of Eagle Scout. “This is a proud moment for Jimmy, his parents and family, as well as his troop leaders and fellow Scouts,” Trotta said in a statement. “I extend my congratulations to him for his diligence and perseverance in becoming an Eagle Scout and hope that he will inspire the youth of our great County of Suffolk.” Brauer’s community service project involved refurbishing the Matthew Russo Memorial Garden at the Fort Salonga Elementary School. This entailed replacing an old bench with three new ones, adding new plantings and creating rock paths to the garden, as well as installing a fence.

Flanagan collecting pet food, supplies New York State Sen. John Flanagan (R-East Northport) is joining with Long Island Cares to support the annual Legislative Pet Food Drive Challenge. This event helps restock their pet pantry to assist struggling families to care for their pets. Baxter’s Pet Pantry, which was created by the Hauppauge-based nonprofit in partnership with the Animal Relief Fund in 2009, strives to provide pet owners throughout Long Island with access to the supplies their animals need. The pantry collects pet food, toys, pet clothes and other supplies for all types of pets including dogs, cats, fish, birds and others. “Every year, it is our great privilege to join with Long Island Cares in their effort to help families protect their pets,” Flanagan said in a statement. “In many homes in our community, pets are a crucial part of the family that brings love and friendship and they must be protected

Donations can be dropped off at his Smithtown district office, located at 260 Middle Country Road, during normal business hours. According to LI Cares, the most needed items are: • 5- or 10-pound bags of dog and cat food – though they do accept larger bags as well • canned food for dogs and cats • kitty litter • dog and cat treats • collars and leashes • food for all pets including reptiles, fish, ferrets, hamsters and more • new pet toys All donated pet food should be unopened and in its original packaging.

St. James Unmanned drone shot down in St. James during rescue mission BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM St. James residents were surprised to hear a shotgun go off the evening of Feb. 23. The gun was aimed at the sky, but instead of shooting at birds, a man was aiming at an unmanned drone. Members of Missing Angels-Long Island, a Bay Shore based organization that searches for missing pets, were using a drone to search for a missing dog named Dezi in the St. James area, according to a Facebook post. Suffolk County police said Gerard Chasteen, 26, of St. James allegedly fired three shots into the air in a residential area, striking the drone at around 4:45 p.m. Chasteen was charged with third-degree criminal mischief and prohibited use of a weapon after an investigation by Suffolk police. Multiple shotguns were also confiscated from the residence. Chasteen was issued a field appearance ticket and was to be arraigned at a later date. Missing Angels did not respond to requests for comment. But Facebook posts from the organization show Dezi was found and returned home the next day, Feb. 24. The drone used, a Mavic 2 Zoom model, is valued at about $1,500 online, depending on configurations and accessories. Unmanned drones have seen a surge of popularity in recent years, and some 7 million drones are expected to fly over American skies by 2020, according to the Federal Aviation Association. A drone is considered an unmanned aircraft, according to Suffolk County law. In response to the Feb. 23 incident, members of Missing Angels started a fundraiser the next day on Facebook to replace the destroyed drone. Within the first two days the fundraiser reached its goal of $1,500 to replace the drone. Organizers extended the fundraiser to $1,900 to cover the expenses for a universal microchip scanner. The group has now raised more than $2,100 for a new drone. The organization said on a Facebook post these pieces of equipment are important to continue to help search and track pets on Long Island.

Kings Park

Nally Boys to lead Kings Park’s 2019 St. Patrick’s Day Parade BY KEVIN MATYI DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Some would say the Nally family name is synonymous with Kings Park. Tom Nally, who shares a name with his late father who died in 2017, said that his family has been deeply ingrained in Kings Park’s community. Both Tom and his father worked as teachers and coaches for Kings Park High School. His mother, Diane, worked for St. Joseph’s School of Religion. His brother, John, worked as a pharmacist at Genovese Drug Stores while Gene Nally went into local politics. “It just feels like Kings Park is an extension of my family,” Tom Nally said. The family has lived in the community for nearly 120 years, spanning six generations. “This community has shown me what it means to care for your neighbors and to be there when they need you,” John Nally said. “This town has always been there for my family through good times and bad, and I am forever grateful.” These contributions are part of why the Nally Boys, Tom, John and Gene, were selected as grand marshals for the 2019 Kings Park St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Together, the three brothers will lead a multitude of bands, floats

more room in the back of the pickup truck to fit more family members,” he said. His brother recalled the family’s first time preparing to take part in the Kings Park tradition. “I remember when Tom [Sr.] first told us we would be in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade,” John Nally said. “He was all excited and worked hard to get the truck clean and had a banner made heralding our family’s roots in County Westmeath in Ireland.” Each year, the number of Nally family and friends riding along the parade route in the

pickup truck has continued to grow, turning it into a tradition. Upon being presented with their sashes at the Grand Marshal Ball in November, John Nally said he was filled with a sense of pride. “Our Irish heritage has always been important to our family and to be singled out was extremely humbling,” he said. While the three brothers are often called the Nally Boys, John Nally said they would never forget their sister, Terri, who passed away in 2002. “She was a very important member of our family and an integral part of the community,” he said. John Nally said he knows that his father and sister will be with them in spirit as the three brothers take their places March 2. “When we take our place in the front of the parade this year, I know Tom [Sr.] will be smiling down on us,” John Nally said. “He was the architect of this journey and to not have him with us will be extremely bittersweet. To have his son, Thomas, walk with us will ease the pain and we know Tom will be with us in spirit. Both he and my sister, Terri, would be extremely proud.” The 2019 Kings Park’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade will step off March 2 at noon from the intersection of Lou Avenue and Pulaski Road at the Celtic Crossing bar.

SBU forum broaches segregation, housing, education inequality on LI BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM While de facto segregation among Long Island’s school districts and housing has been entrenched for decades, there is a growing academic movement to bring people closer together. As part of the forum, “Housing and Racio-economic Equality” Elaine Gross, president of the Syosset-based advocacy group ERASE Racism, which co-sponsored the event, along with professors from Duke and Johns Hopkins Universitys discussed the history of racism and segregation in the U.S. and how it has affected public housing and education. Gross argued that there is racial segregation and inequality crisis in housing and public education on Long Island. “There are folks that think that things are fine how they are,” she said. At the forum hosted at the Hilton Garden Inn at Stony Brook Univesrity, Gross argued that there is severe government fragmentation on Long Island, which in turn makes it easier for racial discrimination in housing and public education. Nathan Connolly, a history professor at Johns Hopkins University, said we have to rethink what we know about segregation. “We are under the impression that segregation ended due to a combination of moral arguments, like [Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s] I Have a Dream Speech, and that segregation was too expensive to maintain,” he said. “Segregation is

profitable, and it didn’t end — it is still ongoing.” Connolly added due to many Jim Crow era policies, white supremacy has been baked into our political and governing structure. “In the 1920s people began to institutionalize groups like the Ku Klux Klan,” Connolly said. “They had chapters in cities like Detroit, Chicago and Washington, D.C.— it was a dominant force of political organization.” In many ways, the experts argued Long Island, in terms of its development of housing, is the perfect picture of what structural racism looks like. Gross stated some towns and school districts on Long Island are more segregated than others, showing areas like Levittown, whose black population has only risen 1.2 percent since 1947. At an ERASE Racism forum in December, Gross provided data from New York State Department of Education that shows a school district like Port Jefferson is made up of 80 percent white students, while in a district like Brentwood close to 80 percent of students are Latino while 12 percent are black. The panelists argued this racial steering of populations dates back to the time of the Great Depression. “[There was] a notion that anything that allowed unregulated movement of people would lead to economic instability,” Connolly said. “You had to generate a way to keep everyone in place, while at the same time ensuring broad economic growth.”

One way this was done was through redlining, or the denial of services to different races through raising the prices on services, or in this case, homes. Connolly said by removing these people’s options in moving around or getting a loan with a low interest rate it meant they couldn’t own homes and couldn’t accumulate equity, which in turn generated a racial wealth gap. Gross mentioned examples of this racial steering on Long Island. Three years ago in Commack, African American renters asked about vacancies at an apartment complex. They were told there were none. When white individuals asked, they were shown the vacancy, given applications and were encouraged to apply. ERASE Racism, along with the nonprofit Fair Housing Justice Center, took property owners Empire Management America Corp. to court, arguing it had violated the Federal Fair Housing Act and the Suffolk County Human Rights Law. The duo reached a successful settlement of $230,000 and required changes to the rental operations at the apartment complex. Kim Manturuk, associate director of research, evaluation, and development at Duke University provided possible solutions to segregation on Long Island. “Adapt a metropolitan approach, that has these cross district governing bodies that try to simplify, organize together things like education, infrastructure development among other

things,” she said. Though she cautioned that even when you have these procedures in place, it’s no guarantee that you get the desired results, and they need to find ways to make desegregation profitable. She mentioned in her own community of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, they have something called the Penny for Housing Fund. “One penny of every property tax dollar collected in the entire county goes into a housing fund. We use that money to incentivize developers to build housing that has an affordable housing component that cuts races and ethnic lines,” she said. If developers want to build a housing complex in the North Carolina county, they would have to set aside 10 percent of the apartment to families that are making 80 percent below the median income in the area. Gross said the change needs to begin on the local level. She stressed the importance of building diverse communities. “We need educators that buy into this change,” she said. “Also students — educating them about our history, one that is not heard about in schools.” Gross said it will take a collaborative effort to show that something like this can work. “People don’t believe — it is hard to dispel myths to them in the face of facts,” she said. “Unless they can see it and see the students and the community thriving, they won’t buy into it.”

Suffolk County asks the question: what to do about marijuana legalization? BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM When it comes to legalizing recreational marijuana, the debate continues in Suffolk County. More than 100 people filled the Suffolk County Legislature chambers Feb. 25 for a public hearing on the legalization of recreational marijuana and its potential impact. The over two-hour meeting fueled a contentious debate between attendees, with supporters pointing to the tax revenue the county could gain from possible legalization and the health benefits attributed to marijuana. Opponents argued that it is a quality of life issue and their view of the plant as a gateway drug, supporting the idea of the county opting out. County legislators in the health committee held the hearing to gather input from the community as New York State inches closer to legalization. Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) expressed his support for legal recreational cannabis in his inaugural address in early January. John Durso, president of Local 338, a union that represents close to 300 workers in the NYS medical cannabis industry, said he supports

legalization and views it as a potential source of economic development in the county — if done right. “As we got to know more patients, caregivers and medical professionals, we learned even more about the benefits of medical cannabis,” Durso said. “In easing symptoms for those who are ill or those who suffer from chronic pain, [it gives them] the ability to live more fulfilled lives.” Durso added the legalization of cannabis is an opportunity to expand beyond the five percent of the New York population who are currently enrolled in the state program and allow more to benefit from its effects. Kim Laube, executive director of nonprofit social services organization Human Understanding and Growth Services, said instead of focusing on just one drug we as a county need to address all drug use for the sake of children. “When it comes to the young developing brain there are no such things as safe drugs,” Laube said. “Schools across Long Island are fighting this — I just don’t think we are ready today to allow this to come [into the county].” At first, her stance was a strong no for

recreational marijuana, but now with legalization potentially on the horizon she hopes it can be delayed as long as possible. “Let’s think of how we can build our drug prevention infrastructure,” she said. “Let’s ensure before we roll this out that every youth has access to prevention as much as they have access to drugs.” Troy Smith, deputy director of the Empire State NORML, an advocacy group for the regulation and safe sale of marijuana, said he is not advocating for legalization, rather regulation to an existing industry and safe access to the plant. “I would like to urge you all to just say ‘no’ — don’t opt out,” he said. Smith said many law-abiding citizens partake in the consumption of marijuana, and legalization would lead to the existing business being regulated better so customers are protected. He also added by opting out the county would forfeit tax revenue and benefit drug dealers and criminals. David Falkowski, owner of Open Minded Organics in Bridgehampton, which grows industrial hemp and sells CBD oil, echoed Smith’s sentiments of not opting out.

“If by chance the county feels like it needs to opt out, I just ask them that this decision is not left up to a small board of temporarily appointed representatives and that it goes to a referendum vote,” he said. His sentiments was followed by loud applause from pro-legalization supporters. Some residents expressed concerns about quality of life and potential second-hand smoke hazards. If the county chose not to opt out, one resident asked representatives to outlaw and prohibit smoking in multiple unit-dwelling buildings to avoid the issue of people getting a contact high. For Kimberly Miller of Deer Park, marijuana isn’t all about getting high — it is more personal. As a recovering alcoholic and sexual assault survivor who suffers from depression, anxiety and PTSD, Miller said, for her and others like her, microdosing marijuana fills the gap traditional medicine doesn’t provide. “Today I’m here asking you to fill one last gap for me,” she said. “Legalize and regulate marijuana, like you do with alcohol and tobacco. Let me buy it from a reputable business and let me pay taxes on it. Build some commerce. It’s a win-win for both of us.”

Editorial

School districts, tighten your belts This year, more than ever, Long Islanders are about to find themselves in a jam when it comes to taxes. It’s been a little more than a month since employees received their 2018 W-2 forms. While that extra $20 or maybe $60 in each paycheck felt great to pocket in January 2018 due to passage of President Donald Trump’s (R) Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, it probably doesn’t feel quite so good now. Thousands of middle-class residents are facing a sobering reality upon calculating their 2018 tax returns. Many are finding out their anticipated tax refund has turned into an IOU to Uncle Sam. It’s in part thanks to the elimination of several federal deductions of moving expenses, home equity loan interest or, particularly, the $10,000 cap on state and local taxes deduction. It’s the SALT cap that is playing a major factor in reducing or elimination people’s anticipated federal tax return. The average property taxes for Suffolk homeowners is $9,333, according to a 2017 analysis by ATTOM Data Solutions. It’s even higher for many property owners along the North Shore in Setauket, Huntington and Smithtown. Now, there’s nothing to help offset Suffolk’s high taxes. For the average Suffolk homeowner, 60 percent of their annual tax bill is due to educational costs, according to the 2017 study. Or, more than half can be attributed to your local school district’s tax levy and annual budget. As many North Shore residents come to the realization their property taxes alone exceed the SALT deduction limit of $10,000, school districts are starting to unveil their first drafts of the 2019-20 budgets. While most districts, if not all, anticipate a proposed budget that stays within the state-mandated 2 percent tax cap, any increase in taxes no matter how marginal will continue to put an increased burden on residents. It is an undeniable truth that providing our children with a good, solid education in a safe setting is of the utmost importance. We must beg the question — is there some way to do it in a more cost-effective manner? We’re not asking school administrators to cut corners but think creatively when drafting their 2019-20 budgets. Whether the state-mandated tax levy cap is 1.83 or 2.58 percent, we’re asking you to think of cost-saving measures — for example, collaboratively purchasing goods and services cheaper in bulk — to help keep the school taxes increases far below that cap. If we were to think of the state-mandated tax cap as a ceiling, we want to ensure there’s adequate space or gap between the budget’s ceiling and the annual increases. Everyone has to pull together to keep living on Suffolk’s North Shore affordable, one part of which is keeping taxes as low as possible. As school district taxes make up the largest portion of our taxes, we have to ask districts to please tighten your belts a little more and keep those tax levies low.

Cuomo’s gun laws will ensure student safety

As we begin 2019 and reflect on the past year, we must not forget that there were more than 300 devastating mass shootings and, as a result, 1,875 deaths in the United States. The incidents have occurred in places once considered safe, such as concert halls, night clubs, schools, houses of worship and even supermarkets. As a junior in high school, the fear of a shooting in my school always remains in the back of my mind, as well as in the minds of many other students. On Jan. 15, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) released his plan for the first 100 days of 2019 that included a push for common sense gun laws. To increase safety, just yesterday [Feb. 25], the governor signed the Red Flag Law, which allows family members, police and civilians to report and petition for the removal of a gun license and guns from an individual seen as a threat to society. Additionally, he is looking to pass laws that prohibit teachers from carrying guns, as well as extending the wait time to purchase a gun if a person fails the background checks. Supporting and passing common sense gun laws is imperative to ensuring the safety of everyone living in Suffolk County and New York State. The Red Flag Law allows a state order to be enacted that will temporarily ban guns from the

person of interest’s possession until a judge determines whether or not they are a threat. The guns will be returned to the person after a trial, unless they are proven to be a danger, in which case they are confiscated. The Red Flag Law has shown to be an effective way to raise awareness and take preventative actions against gun violence in California, Florida and Connecticut. By providing an outlet to anonymously report individuals of the concern, shootings can be prevented. In the Parkland and the Tree of Life shootings, the shooters were known to be violent through social media posts and public speculation. Had the Red Flag Law been in place, these shootings may have been prevented. Though this law may be seen as an invasion of privacy, reports will only be acted upon after proof of danger. Cuomo has also passed other effective common sense gun laws in addition to the Red Flag Law. New York State government passed a law prohibiting teachers from carrying guns in the classroom. The rationale behind that is reducing the amount of guns in schools and in society, thus preventing accidents and domestic violence. The law does not prohibit trained security guards from holding guns. Teachers have voiced their opinions that they do not feel comfortable carrying guns and would

like to remain doing their sole job, teaching. Another law in the governor’s 2019 gun law initiative includes expanded wait time for a person who has failed a background check, but would still like to purchase a gun. By doing this, law enforcement is allocated more time to research and make sure that the person has met all the requirements needed in order to purchase a gun. This will prevent guns from falling into the hands of domestic abusers and untrained individuals. Cuomo’s common sense gun law agenda will improve the safety of all New Yorkers. It is my wish that these methods of gun laws be strongly considered and supported by the citizens of New York State and Suffolk County. The common denominator of all shootings is guns, and there needs to be legal action taken to ensure the safety of children and adults of all nationalities, genders, origins and beliefs. Students are demanding action be taken to ensure the safety of all. I hope that awareness will be spread among this issue and that the public will be educated on these options of gun safety laws.

Read legislation before casting a vote Today’s generation in U.S. Congress along with members of the New York State Senate and Assembly could learn much from the late Idaho Republican Sen. James McClure who passed away eight years ago on Feb. 26, 2011. His claim to fame on Capitol Hill was for 18 years, he read every word of every bill before voting on it. For many years, he signed his own mail. Fast forward to today, did members of Congress take an Evelyn Wood speedreading class to absorb the hundreds of pages contained in a previous temporary stopgap spending bill along with other so-called “emergency legislation” passed in the dead of night? Members received these items with only hours before being asked to vote up or down. Only lobbyists

along with key congressional staff members employed by the House and Senate leadership teams, who actually wrote the fine print within the many hundreds of pages on behalf of their bosses, had any idea of the details buried in the actual contents. There should be a seven-dayminimum time-out period. This would provide adequate time for members of any legislative body but also ordinary citizens, the media and independent good government watchdog groups the opportunity to understand all of the contents contained in any proposed bill. Everyone would also have the opportunity under an open process to comment and discuss the merits or

consequences before others vote up or down for adoption. Ditto for reading the thousands of daily automated robo letters sent to constituents, who have taken their own personal time to write. Liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican, we would all be better off if members of Congress, the state Legislature and New York City Council members would take time to actually read, line by line and openly debate in public any proposed legislation before voting. Their legislative actions impact both our economic and civil liberties. Future generations have to pay for and live with the consequences. Larry Penner Great Neck

To wave or not to wave, that is the question

ait, was that at me? How am I supposed to know? She’s still waving. I could wave back, but what if she’s waving to someone else. Should I put my stupid hand in the stupid air and risk the possibility of looking stupid? Yes, this happened to me many times during my adolescence. How was I supposed to react when someone I kind of knew, D. None or maybe wanted of the above to know, was waving in my direcBY DANIEL DUNAIEF tion? Sometimes, I pretended I didn’t see the person waving, while

I casually looked around to see if anyone near me was responding. I probably looked like I had a neck twitch, as I scanned the area to see if it was safe to wave. These days, the waving conundrum has taken a different form, especially after we moved away from the tristate area. It appears that the Northeast and Southeast have different rules for waving. In the Northeast, we wave when someone we know well walks by us in the car. If they don’t see us, perhaps we offer a quick and polite tap on our horn, just to let them know we saw them and we’ll likely text or email them later. If someone we’re pretty sure we don’t know waves, we immediately assume that someone else is the recipient of their gesture — they have a small dog on the loose and we better slow down, or their children are playing a Nerf gun game and might dart into the street. If they continue to wave, we squint for

a while, trying to ﬁgure out if maybe they’ve lost weight. It could be they’re someone we might have met casually at one of our kids sporting events, or they want us to sign a petition, or even buy a product we’re sure we don’t need because we can’t stand all the crap we already have in our own house. Of course, if we have our defensive curled upper-lip action going too quickly, we might scare away our son’s teacher, our daughter’s assistant coach or a new neighbor who has introduced herself to us four times. In the Southeast, however, the rules are different. Most of the people in the passing cars wave when I walk the dog. Yes, we have a dog and, no, you can’t pet him even though he’s pulling as hard as he can to get to you because I have to bring him back inside so I can do some writing. I’ve stopped trying to ﬁgure out the source of the amicable gesture and I wave back. My son, who sometimes accompanies

me on these dog walks, wondered, “Hey, do you know that person?” He is still playing by the rules of the Northeast. I explained that I wave at every car, even the likely empty parked vehicles in case someone is sitting in them, because that’s what you do here. I told him I’ve conducted my own experiment, where I don’t wave and I see what happens. More often than not, the person slows down and waves even more vigorously, as if to say, “Hey, I’m waving here. Now it’s your turn.” Kids in the modern era seem to have solved the waving problem. They do a quick head nod, which could be a response to a similar gesture from someone else or it could be a way of reacting to music no one else hears. Then again, they’ve probably ﬁgured out how to make a thinner, acne-free virtual version of themselves wave at cartoon versions of their friends.

President Johnson: a Civil Rights hero

efore February’s Black History Month moves away for another year, I would like to share with you the exciting story I read in Doris Kearns Goodwin’s book, “Leadership: In Turbulent Times,” with lessons from four presidents as leaders: Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Lyndon B. Johnson. Now you might be thinking that’s not the sexiest subject to be writing or reading about, but in her storytelling hands, it is a page turner. We all know too well that Johnson, the Democratic vice Between president, became president when you and me John F. Kennedy BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF was assassinated on Nov. 22, 1963. At that time, Kennedy’s progressive legislation was totally bogged down in Congress, going nowhere. What might not be so well known is that LBJ, as he was fondly known, was a “master mechanic” of the legislative process for he had come of age in politics in Congress. “It was his ﬁerce resolve not

simply to dislodge Kennedy’s stalled agenda but to realize a society built on racial and economic justice far beyond the [FDR’s] New Deal and [Kennedy’s] New Frontier,” Goodwin wrote. Taking advantage of the short burst of sympathy and support that he expected to realize from the nation, Johnson, a Texan, wanted to get the contentious civil rights bill, designed to end segregation in the South, enacted. “We have talked long enough in this country about equal rights. We have talked for 100 years or more. It is time now to write the next chapter, and to write it in the books of law,” he told Congress in his address to the nation on Nov. 27, 1963. But ﬁrst he needed some congressional momentum to oil the rails and cleverly called for Kennedy’s tax cut to pass. Less divisive than the issue of civil rights, the bill had passed in the House after 13 months but was opposed by Virginia Sen. Harry Byrd, a conservative Democrat and chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. Conservatives then adamantly believed in a balanced budget. The idea of tax cuts came from liberals. Johnson was able to work out a deal with Byrd. If he could get the proposed budget down below $100 billion in 1965, Byrd would bring the bill to the ﬂoor for a vote. With great effort, Johnson did, the bill was voted on and the Revenue Act of 1964 was passed into law on Feb. 26, barely three short

months after the assassination. Now came the bigger challenge: civil rights. Once the tax cut bill passed, promising more revenue from increased business that could be spent on social services, Lyndon Johnson focused his attention and his legislative expertise on securing the mandate of law for civil rights. To say the least, Southern Congressional Republicans, many of them Johnson’s friends, adamantly opposed his effort. He liked to tell them his personal story about his longtime black employees, his housemaid and butler, Helen and Gene Williams, and his cook, Zephyr Wright. Each year Johnson asked them to drive his extra car from Washington, D.C., back to Texas, a threeday journey. One year Johnson asked Gene to take along his affectionate beagle as well. It was then that Johnson learned how difﬁcult such a trip was for those of color: almost no places on the road to stop and eat, almost no bathrooms in which they were allowed, few places to sleep. “A colored man’s got enough trouble getting across the South on his own, without having a dog along,” Gene explained. Now, all these years later, the winner of the best picture at Sunday’s Academy Awards, “Green Book,” tells us the same story about traveling through the South in the 1960s with its unjust system of segregation. Johnson knew his passionate advocacy for this bill would separate him from the South and from

his Southern friends and colleagues. Johnson confronted those in Congress with how wrong segregation was and tirelessly worked the legislative system for passage of his bill. He challenged Virginia’s deﬁant Judge Howard Smith, a Democratic congressman and chair of the House Rules Committee by resorting to the discharge petition, a rarely used procedure, to blast the bill out of committee with the help of a majority of representatives. He rallied those outside the House to pressure their elected representatives to free the bill. The strategy worked, as leaders all over the country organized to do just that. Once out of committee, the House passed the strongest civil rights bill since Reconstruction. Next came the Senate. Johnson took on Richard Russell (D-Georgia), Senate leader of the Southern opposition, in a pitched battle that proved history is the result of individuals in the right place at the right time. Only a son of the South could have persevered at that juncture. Johnson managed, with the help of Republicans, and especially Senate minority leader, Everett Dirksen (R-Illinois), to break the Southern-led Senate ﬁlibuster. The bill then passed in the Senate. On July 2, Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law. He ended by saying, “To the extent Negroes were free, really free, so was I. And so was my country.”
