His civil rights record is exemplary, and held a joint meeting with Martin Luther King the year before this crusade in San Francisco, long before it was politically correct to do so. He straddled the political aisle, befriending Presidents Eisenhower, Nixon and Johnson as well as impressing the Queen of England when they met in 1955 and she asked him to return several times.
