A pro-business fiscal conservative who was strongly in favor of anti-lunching and other civil rights legislation
Did Coolidge actually succeed in passing any anti-lynching or civil rights legislation though? As far as I know, the only race-based legislation that he signed while President was the blatantly racist Immigration Act of 1924.
I believe he signed the Native American Citizenship Act in the same year.
Also, why was Coolidge anti-lunching? It seems like that would seriously undercut Hoover's claims four years later of a "full lunch pale".
