Autobiography- Lady Bird Johnson - JFK Assassination - Point of View - Tone Mood

That is where this memoir from Lady Bird Johnson's A White House Diary - Excerpt comes in. The colorful language and meaningful writing brings the day of John F. Kennedy's assassination to life from a new perspective. It is the
