Wow! If you ever wondered what it would be like to listen to President Johnson speak in a college classroom to students about his views on civil rights in the 1960s, please check this out. He's discussing his upcoming civil rights conference at the LBJ School in Austin, Texas in 1973. Amazing frankness...his feelings "with the bark on".
