Part of President Lyndon Baines Johnson's speech where he adopted the Motto of the Civil Rights Movement -- "We Shall Overcome". As appropriate for today as it was... Way back then.

  • Lyndon Baines Johnson was this nations Graetest President and should be on Mount Rushmore.

  • Despite Vietnam, he was one of our best. Beautiful speech this man gave. A man of flaws, but was Lincoln popular during the Civil War? Truman with Korea? These men are now judged in a brighter light, and the same should go for LBJ, my man. We wouldn't see another great President like this until Clinton.

  • Johnson is  a Pig of a President.. I wish President Kennedy were still alive.., A man looking for change and a Better world gets shot for not playing by the rules.

  • @cullinane8888 i agree. history would've blamed kennedy for vietnam as it should have done if he lived.

  • @ebonics4everyone fuck the war they fucked history up with his early death

  • @cullinane8888 It's funny. I think most Boomers remain convinced that LBJ's favorite song was "I Love a Parade." The historical record, however, shows that JFK's complicity with the CIA and the South Vietnamese military in the assassination of Diem sealed America's fate in Vietnam. We participated in the assassination of the head of state for following directives from Washington. To say that Kennedy would have ended the war is not backed up by any evidence.
