8-20-15 The War on Poverty in 2:00

August 20, 2015
On this day in Labor History the year was 1964. President Lyndon B. Johnson gave a mid-morning address in the Rose Garden of the White House. He was there to sign the Economic Opportunity Act that launched what became known as Johnson’s War on Poverty.

2:00 minute audio at link.

The Rick Smith radio show has some fans trying to get his show on Sirius/XM.

I post his labor history in 2:00 on the DU every day with a great response.

Please help make this happen.
