Summary
President Lyndon Baines Johnson played a titanic role in America's quest for civil rights. The legacy of those efforts reached a crescendo from April 8 through 10, 2014, as the LBJ Presidential Library hosted the historic Civil Rights Summit to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. A host of luminaries -- including President Barack Obama and former presidents George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Jimmy Carter -- came to the library to recognize the progress made in the country's long, often troubled journey toward civil rights and social justice while examining the issues we face as a nation today. Destiny of Democracy reflects on the civil rights movement and LBJ's legacy while capturing the Civil Rights Summit's momentous three days"--Jacket flap.
