LBJ was a criminal under investigation, multiple investigations
This went from subscribed channel to I put on the do not recommend channel list. You've got to be kidding me about LBJ. Your channel is BUNK!!!!!
He not only took on JFK’s “legacy” but he also TOOK OUT JFK, and his legacy.

By aiding in the assassination obviously
Mr Freeman misspoke when he described Wallace of Alabama as having been “re-elected in 1962”: he was elected for the first time (Alabama law, at the time, prohibited a governor from succeeding himself). The phone conversation between Martin Luther King and LBJ with King’s actual voice and an actor playing Johnson struck me as meretricious. Johnson did indeed fight for the civil rights act, and the historical record bears it out. His mishandling of Vietnam and Latin America turned a lot of people off. I am old enough to have supported Eugene McCarthy.

This is a false narrative push by conservatives....illegitimacy was increasing since the late 1950s...Bill Clinton eliminated the ability of being on welfare for life, yet the illegitimacy has continued to climb among white and black populations.

I like the video, but so many inaccurate information. LBJ calls someone in the 1970s…and asks if they are home? Cell phones weren’t invented yet
It wasn’t that Johnson knew how to pass the civil rights bill, had JFK not been killed it probably wouldn’t have passed. Johnson appealed to JFK as a martyr and wanted everyone to honor him by passing the bill.
Although it has passed for about 160 years, America has never changed, the assassination has been rampant throughout her, racism, segrigation, mass shooting have still remaining high level. Black movement, black lives matter movement , American has been very reluctant to resolve these issues to manipulate for election. It is high time for you to read Confucious analects.

i saw the LBJ movie that starred Woody Harrelson. it was good .Funny and gave an insite of what happened during this time . AHuman side to him and not the dark legacy of his precidency . And Lady Bird on Hulu was great .
IMO, Johnson was more pro-civil rights than any of his predecessors.
