About ‘LBJ: Triumph & Tragedy’

“LBJ: Triumph & Tragedy” highlights Johnson’s presidency and his many accomplishments and downfalls. LBJ unexpectedly became president after the sudden death of President John F. Kennedy.

While in office, LBJ was able to pass the most significant civil rights legislation in decades. He made monumental changes for both healthcare and civil rights in hopes of changing the social landscape of the United States. However, he also escalated a war and made several contradictory decisions during this time. LBJ’s presidency left Americans with plenty of questions and complications. In “LBJ: Triumph & Tragedy,” his time in office and the legatvy he left behind are examined.

The series’ executive producer, Mark K. Updegrove, is also the president and CEO of the LBJ Foundation, spoke about the series and the presidency. He said, “Nearly 50 years after his death, LBJ remains fascinating, enigmatic and relevant. The things he fought for in his presidency — racial equity, immigration reform, health care for all, economic justice, environmental preservation — are all part of the political discourse today.”
