Publisher's Synopsis

History has labeled Lyndon B. Johnson "Lincoln's successor". But how did a southern president representing a predominately conservative state come to play such an influential role in civil rights history? Sylvia Ellis tracks Johnson's personal and political civil rights journey, from his childhood and early adulthood in Texas to his lengthy career in Congress and the Senate to his time as vice president and president.
