Reagan Anderson- The President Calling

I listened to Johnson speaking after JFK's death. Those 20 minutes or so of audio really helped me understand this horrible event in history. You could hear the uneasiness in Johnson's voice and the applause throughout the speech was applause of a country crying for a leader in a time of tragedy, and Johnson rightly responds to their call stating, "Today, in this moment of new resolve, I would say to all my fellow Americans, let us continue." This push to move forward was just the beginning of a country healing over the death of a great leader and without this source at hand, one could easily leave the past in the past and forget these important moments in history.
