Mark K. Updegrove April 10, 2014 10:45 AM EDT Ed. note: Tune in to whitehouse.gov/live at 11:50 am ET to watch President Obama's remarks at the LBJ Presidential Library to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Civil Rights Act. In early December 1972, heroes of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s, braved a rare Austin ice storm to convene at the LBJ Presidential Library for a Civil Rights Symposium. Towering figures like Hubert Humphrey, Barbara Jordan, Clarence Mitchell and Earl Warren rose to the stage in the course of the two-day conference to reflect on the movement they had helped to foster while examining the issues where progress was still needed. Among them was the host of the gathering, Lyndon Baines Johnson, the thirty-sixth President. Lyndon B. He considered the second—the Voting Rights Act—his greatest legislative achievement.

MyGovCost | Government Cost Calculator Misfit Politics Students For Liberty - A Unified, Student-Driven Forum of Support for Students and Student Organizations Dedicated to Liberty. LBJ Killed JFK... American History and Politics Some years ago, I received a package containing several CDs. There was no letter or note enclosed and there was no return address. Thinking it was a book promotion or some other commercial product for me to review, I gave it a low priority. Instead of some commercial video describing the usual topics of "Cosmic Consciousness" or the "Hall of Records in Egypt," the CD had a number of somewhat rough segments containing interviews with some famous individuals. The topic of the collection was familiar to me -- the assassination of president John Kennedy. I spent a couple of weeks checking the sources and validity of the facts presented on the CD. The Smoking Gun? When president Kennedy was shot in Dallas, Texas in 1963, police and the FBI stormed the Texas Book Depository and located a rifle near an open window. Investigators scoured the scene for fingerprints but the rifle and the boxes had apparently been wiped clean. The prints from Dallas and Wallace match on 14 unique points.

www.secretsofthefed.com/astronomers-find-earth-2/ The nearest single Sun-like star to the Earth hosts five planets – one of which is in the “habitable zone” where liquid water can exist, astronomers say. Tau Ceti’s planetary quintet – reported in an online paper that will appear in Astronomy and Astrophysics – was found in existing planet-hunting data. The study’s refined methods of sifting through data should help find even more far-flung worlds. The star now joins Alpha Centauri as a nearby star known to host planets. In both those cases, the planets were found not by spying them through a telescope but rather by measuring the subtle effects they have on their host stars’ light. An exoplanet is a planet that exists outside our Solar SystemMost are giant planets believed to resemble Jupiter or NeptuneThe first exoplanet was discovered in 1992, orbiting a pulsarA few years later, the planet 51 Pegasi B was found orbiting a star similar to the SunHundreds of extrasolar planets have been found since Comments comments
