It established a number of colleges and training schools for Blacks, including Howard University (named for General Howard) and Hampton Institute. ...Soon after, Democrat President Johnson reversed the order and RETURNED the land to its White former owners. Because of this, the phrase has come to represent the failure of America’s promise and the to assist Blacks. Democrats have never been a proponent of Black progress.
