LBJ Today: October 2021

Dear Patrons,
I’m not sure how else to put this: We miss you!
It has been a year and a half since the COVID-19 pandemic
forced us to close the doors of the LBJ Presidential Library.
Under normal circumstances, the Library is teeming with
activity—public programs, museum and store visitors, archival
research, student classes, teacher seminars, academic
conferences, and private meetings. All of those things can
happen in just one day.
But for the moment at least, the pandemic has changed that.
While we’re engaging more audiences than ever through
virtual means and working just as hard, we miss seeing you
face-to-face. Therefore, to keep you up to speed on all things
LBJ, we’re launching this new print newsletter.
The Library will reopen when we can safely do so, as COVID
numbers decline. Hopefully, that means some time in the
coming weeks— “God willing and the creeks don’t rise,” as
LBJ may have said. In the meantime, I hope you’ll join us
through our virtual offerings: our Friends of the LBJ Library
Honor Roll of Donors
Special thanks to our generous donors
Evening With and Future Forum programs, our podcast
“With the Bark Off,” exhibits and education seminars, our
newly designed website, LBJLibrary.org. You can also check
out our brand new website, LBJTapes.org, a partnership
with the University of Virginia’s Miller Center featuring the
LBJ Telephone Tapes.
So, welcome to LBJ Today! Among other things, this issue
features a story on LBJTapes.org by the Library’s Supervisory
Archivist Jennifer Cuddeback, a cover story from LBJ Library
Director Mark Lawrence on the Library’s 50th anniversary
and a conversation with the newly-appointed Dean of the
LBJ School of Public Affairs, JR DeShazo. I hope you enjoy
it. Even more so, I hope to see you soon.
Stay safe and warmest wishes,

October 2021 | LBJ Today | 3

The year 2021 is a special time for the LBJ Presidential Library -- the fiftieth anniversary of the institution’s dedication and grand opening on
May 21, 1971.
It is, of course, a time to look forward – to consider how the Library and museum can engage younger generations, how to craft public
programming suited to the major issues of our times, and how to serve researchers delving into the history of LBJ’s life and presidency. All of these
questions loom large as the Library adapts to changing times.
1.
But 2021 is also a time to look backward at the Library’s origins and its remarkable accomplishments over half a century.
The institution’s origins lie in 1965, when Lyndon and Lady Bird Johnson accepted an offer from The University of Texas at Austin to build
both the Library and the LBJ School of Public Affairs. At the time, the federal government already administered four presidential libraries, but the
Johnsons were determined to build theirs on a scale and with a broad mission that would distinguish it from anything that had come before. As
presidential memorials went, one architecture critic noted in 1971, Johnson’s would be “a hard one to top.”
Four years of construction resulted in the striking 10-story edifice, with its distinctive white travertine exterior, that’s helped define the Austin
skyline ever since.
Even more than the grandness of the building, though, is the long list of achievements that have occurred under its roof. Countless visitors have
toured the museum, both the permanent galleries focused on the Johnson presidency and temporary exhibits on topics ranging from Motown music to
the space program. Thousands of researchers have pored over an archival collection now amounting to some 45 million pages of documents, 650,000
photographs, and a million feet of film.
Teachers and students, meanwhile, have benefited from education programs aimed at young people ranging from preschool to college. Conferences
have drawn scholars from around the world to examine the Johnson presidency, including the triumphs of the Great Society and the catastrophe of
Vietnam.
Most visible of all has been the steady stream of prominent visitors who have appeared on our stages. We’ve hosted astronauts and entertainers, Supreme
Court justices and athletes, soldiers and activists, political leaders and authors. And nine of LBJ’s successors as President of the United States
have visited the Library through the years—Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Clinton, George W. Bush, Obama, and Biden.
Unfortunately, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic prevents us from celebrating the fiftieth anniversary as we would have wished – with a grand
celebration inside our building. Yet the Library’s extraordinary staff has made good use of 2021, launching a steady stream of new virtual programs
and planning for the Library’s reopening as soon as health conditions allow.
Great things are ahead for the next 50 years!

New in Archives
The LBJ Telephone Tapes: Inside the Presidency of Lyndon Baines Johnson
by Jennifer Cuddeback, Supervisory Archivist
LBJTAPES.ORG (PHOTO BY KEVIN SMITH)
At the dedication of the LBJ Library in 1971, LBJ declared that “This Library will show the facts—not just the joy and triumphs, but
the sorrow and failures, too.” In that spirit, and 50 years later, the Archives joined with the University of Virginia’s Miller Center of
Public Affairs to launch a new website highlighting the recordings of President Johnson’s telephone conversations.
As we work with researchers, we archivists frequently counsel them that LBJ was not a big writer. We advise them that if they want
to know what LBJ thought or felt about an issue, they need to listen to the telephone conversations, for here is where he comes to life.
Through the conversations, listeners intimately experience the Johnson presidency “with the bark off.” We hear for ourselves his sorrows
and successes as he negotiates and cajoles, celebrates and laments with his friends, family, advisers and, adversaries to formulate his policies
and drive his agenda forward.
While the conversations have been available in our Reading Room and online for some time, the website LBJtapes.org presents the
material in new and exciting ways. Historians at the Miller Center selected 100 pivotal conversations on Civil Rights, the War on Poverty,
Vietnam, and other domestic and foreign policy issues. As visitors
to the site listen to the audio recordings, they can read along with
the Miller Center’s innovative scrolling transcript. They can learn
more by diving into the archival holdings that are paired with the
conversations: photographs, pages from the President’s Daily Diary,
and Oral History transcripts. Links are provided both to the
National Archives Catalog and our online archival repository, DiscoverLBJ,
encouraging further exploration of our collections. And
this is a living site that can be expanded with additional conversations
and archival materials in the future.
Another unique feature of the site is the variety of ways information
is organized and presented. The site includes a chronological
timeline of the presidency for those looking to learn more about a
specific time period. The conversations are also organized topically,
so visitors wanting to learn more about a specific topic can jump
right into it. And there’s an additional search feature based on the LBJ ON PHONE 10-22-68 BY YOICHI OKAMOTO
speakers’ names, which is useful for those studying the major figures of the 1960s. The variety of ways visitors can access information—
chronologically, by subject, and by speaker—increases the accessibility of the conversations for both the casually curious and the dedicated
scholar alike.
Our archival team is proud to have collaborated on this exciting new website with our Miller Center partners. We believe the site provides
a dynamic new way to explore the Johnson presidency and furthers his mission to show the facts, and let history be the judge.

Spotlight: Meet JR DeShazo, the LBJ School's new dean
In July, The University of Texas at Austin named JR DeShazo the 12th dean of the LBJ School of Public Affairs. DeShazo comes
to the Forty Acres from the University of California, Los Angeles, where he has led both the Department of Public Policy and
the Luskin Center for Innovation as its founding director for more than a decade.
DeShazo is a distinguished scholar who focuses on renewable energy, clean water, environmental
economics, public finance, climate change, and sustainable transportation.
Mark Updegrove had a few questions for the new dean.
Mark K. Updegrove: From 2001 to 2019, you were named “Professor of the Year” five times
by the UCLA Masters Program on Public Policy. What do you think are the keys to being a
good professor?
PHOTO COURTESY OF JR DESHAZO
JR DeShazo: When teaching, I try to do two things. First, I meet students where they
are by listening for how they think and what they know. This informs my point of departure
for the learning journey I am about to guide them through. Second, I listen for
the specific passions that brought my students back to school (I teach mostly returning
professional graduate students). With this awareness, I can then show how what I am
teaching my students enables them to pursue those passions.
MKU: What led to your interest in becoming the Dean of the LBJ School?
JRD: I care deeply about my community, country and the world. The LBJ School’s unique
focus is on training highly-skilled policy analysts and leaders of public and nonprofit
organizations. We teach these students how to identify, develop, and implement policies that advance prosperity, justice, equality
and security. This is my dream job.
MKU: You have made a name as one of the nation’s leading scholars in environmental policy and planning. As the climate change crisis
deepens, how will you apply your expertise at the LBJ School?
JRD: Texas, and the rest of the world, will experience increasingly severe climates impacts. People will experience more harmful
hurricanes, flooding, droughts and, extreme weather events such as heat waves and cold snaps. My research uses the natural and
social sciences to answer questions such as: How should we prepare for this future? Which policies will make us more resilient
to these impacts? As we know that lower income households and communities of color are made relatively worse off after these
events, which policies will prevent these impacts from exacerbating inequality across our communities?
MKU: What are your priorities as Dean?
JRD: My initial priorities will focus on the basics: ensuring our students receive the best educational experience possible, enabling
our faculty to produce world-class research, and connecting both our talented students and our compelling research to policymakers
and policymaking organizations.
Beyond these basics, my priority is to develop initiatives that enable the LBJ School to contribute to important national and international
conversations about how to tackle society’s greatest challenges. This will involve bringing in both scholars from across
UT and policymakers from across the aisle—and aiming high.
MKU: Many students at the LBJ School share the passion President Johnson had for making a positive impact on our nation and the
world. What general advice do you have for those who want to make a difference?
JRD: Don’t let what you can’t do keep you from doing what you can do. Over fifty years ago President Lyndon B. Johnson challenged
us to build a great society. He did what he could at the time, within the limits of the world he was born into. Now it is
our turn to contribute what we can for the sake of ourselves, our children, and future generations.

Highlights
Although we have temporarily lost the intimacy of our in-person events, the virtual format has allowed us to reach audiences all
over the world. It has been a thrill to know that we are sharing an experience with such a broad and diverse audience. Over 76,000
viewers have enjoyed our virtual programs so far this year. We are delighted to have reached so many viewers but look forward to
hosting you in the LBJ Auditorium once again.

Johnson: Hiding in Plain Sight, complimented the opening of the LBJ Library’s
special exhibit, Lady Bird: Beyond the Wildflowers.
Majority Whip James E. Clyburn appeard in March to talk about his
endorsement of Joe Biden’s bid for the presidency. Clyburn also talked
about his experience at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Journalist Fareed Zakaria’s book Ten Lessons for a Post-Pandemic
World sparked an illuminating conversation with Mark Lawrence.
Zakaria’s analysis of the COVID pandemic resonated with a
large audience, garnering over 40,000 views on the LBJ Library
YouTube channel.
In May, we partnered with the University of Virginia’s Miller
Center to celebrate LBJ’s telephone tapes. Guests Michael Beschloss,
Brian Williams and Melody Barnes provided context and
discussed what the tapes revealed about President Lyndon Johnson.
We also partnered with Humanities Texas to host Pulitzer Prizewinning
author Annette Gordon-Reed as she discussed her book On
Juneteenth and shared the story of her Texas roots. Dr. Daina Ramey
Berry, Chair of the History Department at UT Austin, interviewed
Gordon-Reed for a special program commemorating Juneteenth.
Friends members always enjoy hearing from the Johnson family. Many shared
how much they enjoyed hearing about Chuck Robb’s memoir and the incredible
life he has shared with LBJ’s eldest daughter, Lynda Bird.
Last year, we introduced a new series called Continued Conversations
which provides an opportunity for current Friends and Future Forum
members to participate in a live, virtual program. The guest has a
brief conversation with the host and then answers questions from
the audience. Guests including Ben Barnes, Julián Castro, Nicole
Covert, Catherine Robb, Jason Stanford, and Tonya Williams have
joined us for engaging discussions.
