The President Calling

Theodore Houston- Days After Assassination
The future president, Lyndon B. Johnson's speech comes on the heels of the assassination the then president John F. Kennedy. During this speech he explains how that he will continue to follow the Kennedy administrations plan to unify the country, and to also infuses the citizens of the United States with a sense of confidence in moving forward after the tragic loss of their leader.

Johnson also goes on to state things that the Unite States would need to lean on moving on. These things include the United Nations and its comrades, the second to none military in the world, and the profitable US dollar.

Johnson challenges the citizens of America to stay strong so that the nation could still be able to thrive. After saying so he then addresses a major issue that the previous administration put much focus on, civil rights. Johnson calls for bills and laws to be applied to the Constitution that would eliminate the segregation of the country.

Another issue that is addressed is the passing of a tax bill that KEnnedy pressed heavily for. Johnson informs the citizens of the USA that this bill will strengthen the US economy and is necessary to further the country's economic status.
