he looks back at the johnson years and offers a compelling case that previous accounts of johnson's role may have been somewhat exaggerated, or at least slightly off-base, that this book should coincide with controversy surrounding the accuracy of the new movie selma suggested room for deeper and less sentimental view of the great society and all the characters who played a role in it, most notably johnson. he teaches at princeton university and he is a fellow at the new america foundation. is the author of six previous books, including an arsenal of democracy, and jimmy carter and is also a columnist for cnn.com. please help me welcome professor julian zelizer back to politics and prose. thank you.

[applause] from 1965 until the end of his term, i served as an aide to president johnson. on april 4, 1968, i had the sad duty of taking a flash associated press message into the oval office and handing it to president johnson that read dr. martin luther king has been shot in memphis. our world changed that tragic day. president johnson had enormous respect for dr. king. they worked together to pass the civil rights act, the voting rights act. what we are celebrating this week, 50 years later. our panel is about as good as it gets. first, doris kearns goodwin, a pulitzer prize winning author, a former member of the lbj white house staff and one of the first members of the white house fellows program created by president johnson. joe califano who served as domestic affairs adviser -- b

why do you say that, johnson said? that's the last thing the president has been in continual touch with dr. king. ready said he said i've seen from time to time dr. king why do you say that, johnson demanded. well, he said, you saw him at the ceremony. i say, why do you say it? because i was asked, because they had seen you there. i'm sorry he was there johnson said. it was very unfortunate he was there and don't you get hung in on it. so i was struck by listening to that tape and reading those words that on the moment of the president's greatest triumph he would have such complex feelings about dr. king all of you have explored that question. can i start with you ambassador young what was the nature of president johnson's intense and let's say brief partnership with dr. king? >> well, i don't think it was that brief but it was very intense. and i think he was very warm and personal. whenever i went with them there was never an argument, no tension. there was gentlemen's disagreement. dr. king saw himself as having to

a few words about johnson's biography, andy johnson had risen to prominence from the humblest of roots, born in a log cabin in poverty in north carolina. he lost his father at a young age and was put to work as a tailor's apprentice. he fled from service as an apprentice and painstakingly worked his way up the political ladder. in his career he forged a reputation as a champion of the common man, the non-slave holding yeoman farmer and he did so in the mold of his political idol, andrew jackson. andy johnson was in his first term as a united states senator from tennessee representing the democratic party when the civil war began and he took a courageous and altogether singular stance secession. he declared it to be an odious diabolical, nefarious and hell born doctrine. andrew johnson paid a high price for that statement. his family was driven into exile in tennessee and his property conit is kated and johnson hung in effigy and roundly cursed in his home state. johnson's unidownism was rooted johnson's unionism was rooted in the class resentments of non-slaveholding yeoman farmers aga

johnson ruled with a heavy hand. he had conspicuous critics of the lincoln administration arrested and imprisoned. he imposed taxes. johnson was determined that only unconditional consistent loyal union men, like himself, wwould save tennessee's political future. and so as governor, he require that anyone to vote in state elections would have not only the allegiance to the union, but also vouch that they were joint in the victories of the federal army. although he owned a handful of slaves and had supported the proslavery agenda before the war, johnson gradually __ that means to punish the elite and rabbit of resources. fearing that emancipation would alienate slaveholding unionists in tennessee, johnson uurged lincoln to exempt them see from the emancipation proclamation so he, johnson, could work the issue from the inside. what she did. in august 1863, he freed his own slaves. in the year that followed, he delivered a series of speeches, and he appealed to the people of tennessee. lincoln monitored these events car

the reason it is smaller is because it was added as an afterthought to stop president johnson wanted visitors to the library to see where the president worked but we did not have a large enough space to accommodate the oval office, so it's slightly smaller than the actual office. the other thing that makes it unique is this is the actual furniture in lyndon johnson's white house, including his desk. this is not the resolute desk we associate with the president the death -- the desk president obama uses and the photo many of us recognize with john f. kennedy junior popping out of his father's desk. johnson however, because he wanted to take his furniture back to the presidential library offered instead to use the desk he had as a senator. he used this when he was senate majority leader and use this as fight resident and took it to the oval office when he ascended to the presidency. that is his chair, his telephone, this is his suite of furniture, including the rocking chair that he sat in on meetings. you will recognize that being similar to the rocking chairs john f. kennedy used whe

>> the truth is on the johnson tapes where lyndon johnson is talking to martin luther king.can hear it and you can play it on your show. and he's urging king to do a selma, that we need it and even saying that civil rights act is not going to be my biggest achievement, the voting rights act. i think there's a tension that could have been built between king and johnson. but the movie makes johnson seem like george wallace lite instead of someone who was an integral player in the selma drama. but i don't think people should not see the film for that. it's a marvelous film. and it's just a portrayal of johnson that's very awkward. you can't blame lyndon johnson's followers and people that worked in the white house to saying that wasn't lyndon johnson on civil rights. it would only be human for them to protest a little bit. >> i've heard some supporters of the film say that critics and historians are missing the point. this is what selma looked like and felt like from the ground level, not from the corridors of power. is that what you think? >> absolutely. absolutely. this film
