2015 LBJ Liberty & Justice for All Award - Jim Clyburn

On Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2015, the LBJ Foundation awarded the LBJ Liberty & Justice for All Award to Congressman James E. Clyburn and former Attorney General Eric Holder for their work in expanding the opportunities for all of our nation’s citizens and carrying forward the legacy of President Lyndon B. Johnson.

The LBJ Liberty & Justice For All Award honors the vision of Lyndon Baines Johnson's presidency and the transformative laws that gave it life: a belief that every citizen should share in the benefits and blessings of the privileges and protections that lie at the heart of the American dream. President Johnson envisioned and devoted his life to creating a nation of justice and liberty, where everyone had the opportunity to rise, and those in need would not fail. His legislative achievements shaped the next half century of our national history, and his legacy endures to benefit future generations of Americans – the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the Fair Housing Act of 1968, Head Start, Medicare, Medicaid, Job Corps, the Clean Air Act, the National Endowment for the Arts and the Humanities, and many more. President Johnson saw his mission as "at once the oldest and most basic in this country: to right wrong, to do justice, to serve man."

The 2015 award dinner net proceeds benefited the new LBJ School of Public Affairs Washington Center.
