They didn't adopt the Civil Rights mantle. More Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act than Democrats. LBJ signed the CRA, so it gave the appearance that the Dems supported it. Then eventually as the GOP took over the South, the Democrats became a northerners party, and northerners are pro-Civil Rights. It's all about geography really.
