Highlights Of President Lyndon B. Johnson Inauguration
A new page of American history is inscribed in the nation’s capital as President Lyndon Baines Johnson leaves the White House to take the oath of office for his first full term as 36th President of the United States. With the President is Mrs. Johnson and Senator and Mrs. Hubert Humphrey, the first Vice-President since the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
The solemn swearing-in takes place on the steps of the Capitol, a historic site for such ceremonies.
In his Inaugural Address, Mr. Johnson makes one of the shortest in history as he bids the United States to dedicate itself to justice for all and to end tyranny and misery. It was a speech more philosophical than specific, aimed at projecting the targets and hopes of the new administration.
Then it was back to the White House where the President and his party review the Inaugural Parade with floats from all 50 states.
Now begins a new era in the history of the Republic under Lyndon Baines Johnson, 36th President of the United States.
