Original Note:
It is true that in the 1800s the Democratic Party supported slavery. However, by the 1960s, the parties had reconfigured themselves so that Democrats were more likely to vote in favor of civil rights than Republicans. Racist Democrats of the Southern States switched parties. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/aug/28/republicans-party-of-civil-rights
