The Great Society: A Community Conversation

Presented with the Dallas Theater Center, this program focused on The Great Society, the second part of Robert Schenkkan’s 2016 play All the Way. While facing a “war on poverty” at home, the increasingly unpopular Vietnam war and powerful political enemies, Lyndon B. Johnson fought to pass civil rights legislation and some of America’s most important social programs. Panelists included Schenkkan; Dr. Marvin Dulaney, associate professor emeritus of history at University of Texas, Arlington; Lee Cullum, journalist and host of KERA’s CEO; and moderator Kevin Moriarty, Dallas Theater Center Enloe/Rose Artistic Director.
