Love this picture. The faces--John McCormick, Everett Dirksen, Whitney Young, Louis Martin off to the left, George Meany. I see none of the Old Southern Democratic segregationists -- no Stennis, no Thurmond, no Eastland....

Also John Lindsay, Peter Rodino, Daniel Inouye. (Side note re Southern Dems, Thurmond changed from Dem to Republican in 1964 in reaction to this.)

Thanks!

I've been trying to figure out where Gene McCarthy, Muskie, Javits, Farmer, Fauntroy, and Height are in the photo. All should be easy to spot. I assume Height is one of the three women in hats. I was sure I had spotted Reinhold Niebuhr, but apparently not there.

Javits is a few rows back toward the left.

John Pastore (D-RI) with glasses, row behind Hugh Scott and Geo Meany. Can study this photo for quite a while...

It was Luci's birthday too, I think. I was 8, a news junkie even then, and for some reason remember this.

LBJ said he was giving away the south for a generation (at least). He was right. That fight carries on today.

It looks like the download is free as part of a 30-day trial; but, the customer is signing up for Kindle Unlimited and will automatically be billed for the KU service monthly after 30 days...

Hi~The download is free~ authors can offer free download days every quarter. If you click "buy" for 0.00 that's it~the Kindle Unlimited is separate at other times for those who choose to be in that program, (I'm not). It should not be part of any trial. Thankyou for your interest

Thank You!
