LBJ's America: Pt.6 - The Legacy

Following a delay thanks to strikes, illness, and a furious effort to finish writing a book, we're back with the final episode of our Lyndon Johnson's America series! We discuss the various legacies of Johnson, his Great Society, Civil Rights, Vietnam, and the long Sixties. And we also provide a preview of our NEW upcoming series - tune in to find out what we'll be discussing next! Thanks a lot for listening to this series and we look forward to bringing you the next one.
