Harvard Book Store Author Series Presents:

Harvard Book Store is pleased to announce that on Friday, October 10th Jonathan Rosenberg and Zachary Karabell will be talking about their book, Kennedy, Johnson, and the Quest for Justice: The Civil Rights Tapes. Until now, the story of Civil Rights has usually focused on protests, violence, and marches. This ovum, by focusing exclusively on meetings and conversations concerning civil rights in America, offers an unparalleled understanding of how presidential policy was formed during a convulsive era. And it draws a fascinating portrait of power and responsibility in the hands of two very different men. The book includes historic audio recordings of Kennedy and Johnson discussing civil rights and the authors will play excerpts during the event.
