Gingrich prefaced his statement with: "It took me a long time and a number of people talking to me through the years to even get a sense of this..."
When passed, the Social Security Act did not cover domestic or agricultural workers. But these were the two occupations that between employed over half of all African Americans. The Black labor leaders like A. Phillip Randolph, supported the Act as their union membership was covered. The Congress, although controlled by the Democrats had the albatross of the "Solid South" which would obstruct anything that would strengthen the Negro. The strategy the President Roosevelt and his new dealers adopted was to institutionalize Social Security for the majority of American workers and then bring in the occupations and groups that had originally been excluded. And this is what they did however, enforcement of Social Security coverage with individual domestic workers was still a problem in the 21st century.
Jackson was a civil rights worker who was murdered by white racists trying to intimidate Blacks from their desegregation efforts. King broadened the moral responsibility to those who did not oppose the segregationist system prevalent in the South.

This was a quotation from Roof's twisted confession of the fact that he walked into a black church that was holding a Bible Study Class, and gunned down 9 religious people studing the Bible. His "justification" was based on totally false "facts" but at the time many people--especially those and the extremes of political ideology simply chose the fact that supported their narrative and world vie without regard to veracity. The overwhelming majority of whites who are murdered in America are murdered by other whites and usually by people whey knew. Most rapes in the United States are committed by Whites, not Blacks, Of the Black committed rapes, most of the victims were also Black. Large proportions of the American populace believe that the Black cntribution to crime against whites is very much larger than it reall is. Of the whites who believe this, a tiny few become white supremicists and only some of those act out and commit any physical violance. However the few succetable people like Roof have heard these falsehoods so ofteh that tney not only beleive it si try but they believe taht they must do something lest the problem get worse. Of course, even if Blacks were committing all these crimes against whites, it takes a spcially sociopahic mind to believe that by killing Bible-studying, deeply religious, Christian Blacks, they will somehow stop violent Black crime.
This quotation is a wonderful example of Donald Trump's hyperbolic oratory, Must politicians would say that "African communities are in terrible shape." But that would not get much media attention and coverage of his speech. So he ads ""worst". And not content with the dama of "worst" which was clearly untrue, he then added "Ever, Ever, Ever". Which not only makes the statement unture but rediculous in the light of lynchings, race riots, slavery, and other aspects of past African American experience in America. However, that evening, this line was on almost every news television show in America, repeated on radio, and was in the vast majority of newspapers. This lie got him millions of dollars in free publicity. No one had ever been better at manipulating the media that way. See Quotation 664146 for President Obama's comment on Trump's statement. Also, 644399 for the assessment of the NAACP President.

The broader meaning designates "the entire body of Orthodox (Chalcedonian) Christianity, sometimes also called 'Eastern Orthodox,' 'Greek Catholic,' or generally 'the Greek Church'". The narrower meaning designates "any of several independent churches within the worldwide communion of Orthodox Christianity that retain the use of the Greek language in formal ecclesiastical settings". The third is the Church of Greece, the Eastern Orthodox church operating within the modern borders of Greece.
