Yes the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed-nine years after Einstein's death- and then the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed a year later- though white Republicans have spent the whole fifty-six years since its passage trying to repeal it and succeeded in making it all but meaningless in a horrible Supreme Court case a few years ago- but racism is not a thing of the past in this country and your smug, smirking "isn't this whole article just silly?" tone is uncalled for in a country where police still kill innocent black people on the regular. So grow the hell up.
