About the Event:
There was no one like Liz Carpenter. Her wit, humor, and no-nonsense style took her from Texas to The White House. Carpenter served as the first woman executive assistant to Vice President Lyndon Baines Johnson, and then as press secretary for First Lady Lady Bird Johnson. Carpenter was a prominent member of the Johnson White House and also a close personal friend of the Johnsons.
October 4 at 6PM, Carpenter's daughter Christy will join the Texas Archive of the Moving Image to discuss the family's films, news coverage and speeches. Ms. Carpenter is currently working on a book that not only highlights the work of her famous mother and her career alongside LBJ and Lady Bird Johnson, but shares the important contributions of her father and the model political partnership they lived. Tune in on Facebook, YouTube Live, or Twitch.
Archive Dive is made possible in part with a grant from Humanities Texas, the state affiliate for the National Endowment for the Humanities.
