MLK:

Scenes of Selma’s cruelty

On every living room TV

​Finally get the sympathy

We needed

​​

All:

Suddenly with Alabama

People finally give a damn a

Cry for action’s made at last and heeded.

LBJ takes his seat at the Resolute Desk, surrounded by senators and representatives, along with Dr. Martin Luther King and just to his left, Zephyr Wright.  LBJ signs the bill with a flourish and gives the first pen to Zephyr. 

​

It’s our finest moment

Our finest hour

 

LBJ
I helped the people take back their power

And in my finest moment

Building the great society

I finally built my legacy.

It’s the one thing for which they’ll remember me.
