PROGRAM

Revisiting the Great Society: The Role of Government from FDR and LBJ to Today was a two-day symposium, on March 14th and 15.  2012, that offered an in-depth examination of the domestic side of the Johnson presidency. Featuring a distinguished roster of scholars and policymakers alike, the symposium located the LBJ presidency in historical perspective, drawing on lessons from FDR’s New Deal, and provided an ideal forum to discuss implications for our current leadership.

The two-day Symposium consisted of a one-day public program followed by a one-day academic conference. The Day 1, March 14th Public Program at The Kaye Playhouse was open to the public with advance registration. The Day 2, March 15th Academic Conference at the Roosevelt House Public Policy Institute at Hunter College was by invitation only. Because seating during Day 2 is extremely limited, we anticipated that all seats would be full by invited scholars and practitioners, along with members of the Hunter College faculty.
