About this listen
In this episode of Presidents Unplugged, we explore the complicated legacy of Lyndon B. Johnson, a leader whose forceful style reshaped America in lasting ways. From pushing through the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and launching Medicare and Medicaid, to facing the deep national division of the Vietnam War, Johnson’s presidency was defined by both historic progress and painful controversy. We examine how the shadow of John F. Kennedy and the tragedies of 1968, including the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, shaped the world he led. In the end, this episode asks a difficult question: can raw political pressure ever work? Is Johnson remembered not just as a bully in power, but as a bully for the greater good?
