THE CIVIL RIGHTS TAPES: THE SECRET WHITE HOUSE RECORDINGS OF PRESIDENT JOHNSON

with author and historian JONATHAN ROSENBERG

Have you ever wanted to be a fly on the wall at the White House? Now you can. For the first time ever, tapes have been released from the secret recordings that President Johnson made of White House meetings and telephone conversations that occurred after the assassination of President Kennedy and up to the passage of the ground-breaking passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964. You’ll hear conversations with the Urban League’s Whitney Young, Dr. Martin Luther King,Jr. and Senator Robert Byrd with analysis and commentary by Jonathan Rosenberg.

Join Jonathan Rosenberg, historian and author of Kennedy, Johnson, And The Quest For Justice:The Civil Rights Tapes in this second part of our conversation with him on his book based on the that of the Kennedy and Johnson secret recordings at the White House on Civil Rights. ****************************************************************************************************************
