University Archives, Texas State University. - Page 3 - Lyndon Baines Johnson distinguished lecture series Biographical/Historical note The LBJ Distinguished Lecture Series was inaugurated in 1982 by President Robert Hardesty. In 1973, President Johnson brought his economic advisor Walter Heller to campus. It was the President's hope that Dr. Heller would be the first of many national leaders to visit Texas State and share their philosophies and experiences with the students. Less than a week later, President Johnson died before any formal plans could be made to follow up on his idea. The Lyndon Baines Johnson Distinguished Lecture Series fulfills the President's promise and honors the university's most distinguished alumnus. Scope and Contents note Series documents each lecture given and includes planning materials, pages and programs from a guest book with lecturers' signatures and messages, and commemorative medallions. Records of individual lectures may include transcripts, videorecordings, press releases, invitations, programs, and photographs. Arrangement note Materials in the Lyndon Baines Johnson Distinguished Lecture Series are arranged into three series: I. Planning, II. Realia, and III. Lectures. Series I contains planning documents, including President Hardesty's announcement of beginning the lecture series and a fundraiser to benefit the endowed lecture series. Series II contains realia consisting of a guest book signed by the distinguished lecturers and examples of bronze medallions given to the lecturers. Series III is arranged chronologically by date of the lecture and includes materials related to the planning and delivery of each LBJ distinguished lecture. - Page 4 - Lyndon Baines Johnson distinguished lecture series Administrative Information Publication Information University Archives, Texas State University Conditions Governing Access note Open to researchers without restriction.

  • Baker V. Carr in Context: 1946-1964
    BAKER V. CARR IN CONTEXT: 1946-1964 Stephen Ansolabehere and Samuel Issacharoff1 Introduction Occasionally in all walks of life, law included, there are breakthroughs that have the quality of truth revealed. Not only do such ideas have overwhelming force, but they alter the world in which they operate. In the wake of such breakthroughs, it is difficult to imagine what existed before. Such is the American conception of constitutional democracy before and after the “Reapportionment Revolution” of the 1960s. Although legislative redistricting today is not without its riddle of problems, it is difficult to imagine so bizarre an apportionment scheme as the way legislative power was rationed out in Tennessee, the setting for Baker v. Carr. Tennessee apportioned power through, in Justice Clark’s words, “a crazy quilt without rational basis.”2 Indeed, forty years after Baker, with “one person, one vote” a fundamental principle of our democracy, it may be hard to imagine what all the constitutional fuss was about. Yet the decision in Baker, which had striking immediate impact, marked a profound transformation in American democracy. The man who presided over this transformation, Chief Justice Earl Warren, called Baker “the most important case of [his] tenure on the Court.”3 Perhaps the simplest way to understand the problem is to imagine the role of the legislator faced with the command to reapportion legislative districts after each decennial Census. Shifts in population mean that new areas of a state are likely to emerge as the dominant forces of a legislature. But what if the power to stem the tide were as simple as refusing to reapportion? It happened at the national level when Congress, realizing that the swelling tide of immigrant and industrial workers had moved power to the Northeast and the Midwest, simply refused to reapportion after the 1920 Census.

    DESCRIPTION: ALL IN - FINAL PICTURE LOCK – FULL FILM - 200726 [01:00:31:00] [TITLE: November 6, 2018] ANCHORWOMAN: It might be a race for the governor’s mansion in Georgia, but this is one that the entire country is watching. ANCHORWOMAN: And if ever one vote counted it certainly is going to count in this particular race. [01:00:46:00] [TITLE: The race for Georgia governor is between Democrat Stacey Abrams and Republican Brian Kemp.] [If elected, Abrams would become the nation’s first female African American governor.] CROWD: Stacey! Stacey! Stacey! Stacey! Stacey! ANCHORWOMAN: The controversy surrounding Georgia’s governor race is not dying down. Both candidates dug in today. ANCHORWOMAN: Republican Brian Kemp and Democrat Stacey Abrams are locked in a virtual dead heat. ANCHORWOMAN: Everybody wants to know what’s happening in Georgia, still a toss up there, as we’re waiting for a number of votes to come in. They believe there are tens of thousands of absentee ballots that have not yet been counted. ANCHORWOMAN: Voter suppression has become a national talking point and Brian Kemp has become a focal point. [01:01:27:00] LAUREN: All of the votes in this race have not been counted. 1 BRIAN KEMP: On Tuesday, as you know, we earned a clear and convincing, uh, victory at the ballot box and today we’re beginning the transition process. ANCHORMAN: Kemp was leading Democratic opponent Stacey Abrams by a narrow margin and it grew more and more narrow in the days following the election. Abrams filed multiple lawsuits, but ultimately dropped out of the race.

  • BROWN V. BOARD of EDUCATION: MAKING a MORE PERFECT UNION
    File: Seigenthaler.342.GALLEY(7) Created on: 5/9/2005 4:09 PM Last Printed: 7/5/2005 9:17 AM BROWN v. BOARD OF EDUCATION: MAKING A MORE PERFECT UNION John Seigenthaler* It is impossible for me to reflect on Brown v. Board of Educa- tion1 and its meaning these five decades later without revisiting in my mind’s eye the white Southern racist society of my youth and young adulthood. That was a time when my hometown, Nashville, Tennessee, was as racially segregated as any city in South Africa at the height of Apartheid; when every city in the South, large and small, was the same; when African-American residents of those communities were denied access to any place and every place they might need or wish to go. The legal myth of “separate but equal” had cunningly banned black citizens from every hospital, school, restaurant, trolley, bus, park, theater, hotel, and motel that catered to the white public. These tax-paying citizens were denied access to these places solely on the basis of their race by tradition, custom, local ordi- nance, state statute, federal policy, and by an edict of the United States Supreme Court fifty-eight years before Brown in Plessy v. Ferguson.2 In too many of these cities, black citizens were even denied access to the ballot box on election day. The posted signs of the times read, “White Only.” If you never saw those signs, it is difficult to imagine their visible presence in every city hall, county courthouse, and public building, including many federal buildings.
