"Many people's lives are better today because she championed with enthusiasm civil rights
and programs for children and the poor."

She was married to Lyndon Baines Johnson on November 17, 1934, at Saint Mark's Episcopal Church in San Antonio, Texas. She was known for her love of the environment, which she developed as a child growing up near Caddo Lake in East Texas. She greatly enjoyed wildflowers along Texas highways, which were encouraged by long-established state conservation policies.

For those interested, In 1970 A White House Diary, Lady Bird Johnson’s intimate, behind-the-scenes account of Lyndon Johnson’s presidency from November 22, 1963, to January 20, 1969, was published. Beginning with the tragic assassination of John F. Kennedy, Mrs. Johnson recorded the momentous events of her times, including the Great Society’s War on Poverty, the national civil rights and social protest movements, her own activism on behalf of the environment, and the Vietnam War. Long out of print, the paperback of A White House Diary will be available again through the University of Texas Press in Fall 2007: Link
