Nixon really got desegregation rolling and he did a lot for black small-business owners...even without considering McGovern.
That’s interesting.
As a sidelight of sorts, in how many states did Nixon get a larger proportion of the black vote than McGovern did of the white vote?
I am almost absolutely sure that was the situation in all five Deep South states. It may possibly have been the situation in some of the Outer South states (NC and AR seem the most likely). Does anyone have details to confirm this?
