In 1963, Florida’s Civil Rights Movement and the vice presidency of Lyndon Baines Johnson intertwined in surprising ways. Though Florida's politicians had been successful — thus far — in keeping the state off the front page of national newspapers when it came to matters of race, that was about to change. Join award-winning Sarasota author and historian Liz Coursen as she discusses LBJ’s actions and activities in Florida during this tumultuous time in our state and our nation.
