Keenly known for both his triumphs and his failures, Lyndon B. Johnson was one of the most complex and compelling presidents in US history. Anne Quirk's biography alternates between chapters that follow LBJ's childhood in rural Texas learning politics from his parents, his time teaching Mexican American students at a small-town school, and his days in Congress as majority leader and as vice president; and chapters that cover his work alongside civil rights leaders and the passage of the Voting Rights Act. An epilogue discusses the Supreme Court's 2013 ruling that struck down key portions of the act. With engaging storytelling, Quirk paints a rich portrait of Johnson's presidency, celebrating the accomplishments of his Great Society programs while refusing to shy away from his catastrophic decisions regarding Vietnam and the summer riots of 1967. Larger Than Life presents striking parallels to today's political arena: an outsize character presiding over a divided nation-but to different ends"-- Provided by publisher. 521 $a Ages 9-12 $b Norton Young Readers. 600 10 $a Johnson, Lyndon B. $q (Lyndon Baines), $d 1908-1973 $v Juvenile literature. 610 10 $a United States. $t Voting Rights Act of 1965 $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History $x History $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Suffrage $z United States $x History $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Civil rights movements $z United States $x History $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Presidents $z United States $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1963-1969 $v Juvenile literature. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 4 952 $l CJPC482 $d 20240202015252.0 952 $l FLPB224 $d 20211022010558.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20211002013007.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210811010114.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=662FB554FA6911EB98C5017225ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
