Some legacies are written in laws. Others bloom all around us. 🌸
#LadyBird's legacy is one we know well at the #LBJLibrary. For @InPursuitUSA, former First Lady Laura Bush reflects on Lady Bird's vision for a more beautiful America & its lasting impact.

Michael Beschloss (@BeschlossDC) writes about Lyndon B. Johnson and a presidency that history is still sorting out.
Johnson used a master legislator’s instincts to pass civil rights, Medicare, the War on Poverty, and the Voting Rights Act in a little more than two years.

A legacy isn't defined by triumphs alone—or by failures.
This time, @InPursuitUSA explores a president whose legacy we examine every day: Lyndon B. Johnson. Historian @BeschlossDC reflects on his monumental achievements, profound mistakes, & the importance of understanding both.

Today we remember Gloria Steinem, who died yesterday at 92.
Sure to be remembered among the shapers of our country’s modern feminist movement, Steinem’s leadership will serve as an inspiration for generations to come.
