Johnson was talking about voting rights. This was only a week after Bloody Sunday when hundreds of peaceful marchers in Selma, Alabama were set upon and viciously beaten by police. The demonstrators were calling on authorities to let people of color register to vote, something the segregationist leaders of Alabama would not allow.
So, President Johnson wrote the Voting Rights Act, which authorized the federal government to protect the voting rights long denied in southern states, like Alabama.
In his speech on this day in 1965, Johnson used the language of the voting rights movement to call on lawmakers to support the movement. And they did, though it required Johnson to spend six months politically twisting the arms of some representatives and senators.
US President Lyndon Baines Johnson addresses a joint session of Congress on March 15, 1965. The speech, titled "The American Promise," detailed the need for the Voting Rights Act, which LBJ had written over the previous week after Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama Video and audio of the full address are available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NvPhiuGZ6I
“We shall overcome.”
-U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson, talking about "The American Promise" during a joint-session of Congress and to some 70 million Americans watching on television, on this day in 1965.

Martin Sheen portrays Judge Frank Minis Johnson Jr., one of the unsung heroes of the civil rights movement. #Selma #TCMParty

I would also recommend the made for TV movie George Wallace directed by John Frankenheimer with Gary Sinise playing George Wallace. #Selma #TCMParty

Bloody Sunday: the day violence inflicted on nonviolent protestors galvanized the country behind the Civil Rights Movement. Why? We saw it from sea to shining sea in our living rooms. #Selma #TCMParty

If memory serves me correct, the FBI surveillance tapes of Martin Luther King, Jr. are scheduled to remain sealed in the National Archives until January 31, 2027, under a 1977 court order. #Selma #TCMParty

It feels like a good time to mention the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis. Absolutely should be visited by everyone! #Selma #TCMParty

The murder of Jimmie Lee Baker was done by Atlanta state trooper James Bonard Fowler. He was not convicted for the murder until 2010. At the time #Selma was released, Fowler was still alive and died months in July 2015. #TCMParty

I agree. Wilkinson lacks the accent and the characterization is historically inaccurate. Bryan Cranston in HBO's #AllTheWay is the best portrayal of Lyndon B. Johnson bar none. #Selma #TCMParty

“It’s a matter of political priorities.”
Translation: We could do it. But it has two things going against it:
-It makes sense.
-People want it.

If you ever get to Atlanta, of course go to the MLK Center and his childhood home.
But an absolute must see is the National Center for Civil and Human Right which is located downtown. It’s amazing, heartbreaking and inspiring all at the same time.
