REVIEW:
November 22, l963 Lyndon Baines Johnson became the 36th President of the United States following the assassination of John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas. This site provides educators, students, and the general public with insight to the life and times of this President. For a general overview visit the research section which provides a chronological biography of LBJ, information about Lady Bird Johnson, quick facts and visits from heads of state. The collection of online primary documents includes speeches, photographs, audio and video clips including an exhibit of Lady Bird Johnson's home movies, diaries, and memos. Especially interesting are the oral histories from many of his colleagues and friends including special interviews from such notables as Billy Graham and Robert S. McNamara. |
