Is "Selma's" portrayal of LBJ historically accurate?
Six months after witnessing President Lyndon Johnson outlaw segregation in July 1964, Martin Luther King, Jr. was back at the White House seeking support for voting rights. In the movie "Selma," Johnson and King's relationship is confrontational. Michelle Miller investigates the historical accuracy of the film.

I watched the movie when it came out. It seemed like the movie wanted Johnson to be the racist villain, which is not accurate. But really they didn't need it to be Johnson as they already had George Wallace.

No he was not. You should read history better, before you show us that you have no idea.
