LBJ Museum and Library at University of Texas in Austin, Texas

This morning after a wonderful breakfast with a former student who is now working on his PhD at University of Texas, I toured the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum. This museum is dedicated to the legacy of LBJ's Great Society programs, his efforts on behalf of the Civil Rights Movement and the space program, and the challenges of being president during the Cold War, including the war in the Vietnam. I admire Johnson's commitment to try to do what he thought was in the best interest of the country and our citizens. The exhibit was made all the more powerful as I had opportunities to hear Johnson's many recorded conversations and see thousands of personal artifacts. In the picture below, I'm standing in front of Johnson's presidential limousine. It was a powerful and informative morning.
