Summary

Riots, uprisings and protests rock the country in the summer of 1966, and despite their progress with civil rights legislation, the Johnsons can’t seem to move fast enough. And an increasingly unpopular war in Vietnam begins to overshadow just about everything else. Luci Johnson’s wedding in Washington, DC becomes the setting of dramatic anti-war protests, and Lady Bird herself is the target of a bomb threat.

But just as their most ambitious, controversial project is about to get underway, tragedy strikes. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
