When President Lyndon Baines Johnson was pressing for civil rights laws and managing the United States’ involvement in the Vietnam War during the 1960s, Texas attorney Larry Temple was inside the White House for much of that time, serving as LBJ’s special counsel from 1967 until 1969.

Temple now serves as chair of the LBJ Foundation in Austin and recently played host to four current and former presidents, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter. The four came to the LBJ Library last month to pay tribute to LBJ on the 50th anniversary of one of LBJ’s greatest achievements: the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
