LBJ in the first year after John F. Kennedy's assassination stakes his presidency on what would be an historic unprecedented 1964 Civil Rights Act and is caught between the moral imperative of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the expectations of the southern Democratic Party leaders who brought him to power. As King battles to press Johnson while controlling more radical elements of the Civil Rights Movement, LBJ navigates the bill through Congress, winning a landslide victory against Barry Goldwater, but causing the South to defect from the Democratic Party.
