Washington, DC
Sunday, July 10, 2011

In June and July of 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson was occupied by America’s role in Vietnam, Senate passage of the Civil Rights Act, and an unfolding crisis with the disappearance of three Civil Rights workers in Mississippi. In the upcoming discussion at the National Archives, historians and scholars focus on these momentous months, and Johnson himself is heard from on a succession of White House tapes.
