On This Day: Sargent Shriver was sworn in as Director of the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO).

Established as part of President Johnson's War on Poverty, the OEO oversaw programs such as Head Start, Job Corps, and more. LBJ's remarks: www.presidency.ucsb.edu/node/242216

Some legacies are written in laws. Others bloom all around us. 🌸

Lady Bird Johnson's vision for a more beautiful America is a legacy we know well here at the LBJ Presidential Library.

In a new essay for In Pursuit, former First Lady Laura Bush reflects on Lady Bird's commitment to conservation, community, and the belief that caring for our shared spaces can inspire generations.

On This Day: Sixty years ago today, President Johnson signed seven conservation bills into law, including the landmark National Historic Preservation Act of 1966.

Together, these laws expanded protections for America's natural landscapes, endangered wildlife, and historic landmarks, helping preserve the nation's heritage for future generations.

President Johnson had a sweet tooth, and we have the receipts!

From coconut cream pie and banana pudding to peach cobbler and German chocolate cake, LBJ knew a thing or two about enjoying dessert.

In honor of National Dessert Day, we're celebrating some of his favorite sweet treats! Which one would you choose? 🥧🍦🎂

Happy Birthday to President Dwight Eisenhower, who was born on this day in 1890! 🥳

From LBJ's years in the Senate through his presidency, the two leaders maintained a strong relationship built on mutual respect that spanned decades.

A legacy isn't defined by triumphs alone—or by failures.

This time, In Pursuit turns its attention to a president whose legacy we explore every day: Lyndon B. Johnson. Historian Michael Beschloss examines how monumental achievements and profound mistakes can coexist—and why understanding both is essential to understanding history.
