On this day in 1972, LBJ spoke at the Civil Rights Symposium held here at the library. Many distinguished participants included Barbara Jordan, the first African American woman from the south to serve in the U.S. Congress, and Julian Bond, who had been denied his seat in the Georgia legislature for opposing the Vietnam War. The symposium was his final public appearance and the last speech he gave before his death on January 22, 1973. Full remarks: https://youtube/watch?v=RJKq18m0oYs
