Lady Bird Johnson

S1 E5: On November 22nd, 1963 the assassination of President John F. Kennedy launched the presidency of Lyndon Baines Johnson - and catapulted his wife Lady Bird into a role that she didn't prepare for. The Johnson administration enacted one of the most prolific legislative programs in U.S. history - but it likely wouldn't have succeeded without Lady Bird Johnson's steadying presence. Lady Bird became a master mediator, helping to soothe discord in the administration, and shape LBJ's reputation in the country.
