A child of East Texas\, she spent many of her days outdoors. The sense of place that came from being close to the land never left her. She would eventually carry that with her to the White House. \nThe Beautification Act of 1965 known as “Lady Bird’s Bill\,” is a well-known result of her tireless work. Often associated only with wildflowers\, Lady Bird Johnson emphasized that “beautification” meant much more. It meant clean water\, clean air\, clean roadsides\, and preservation of landmarks\, parks\, and wilderness areas. \nHer commitment to the natural world resulted in a national awareness not seen prior to her time as first lady\, and it served as a catalyst for the modern environmental movement. Lady Bird Johnson demonstrated that through the activism of one person great change can happen. \n“Where flowers bloom\, so does hope”. \n  \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSponsored By:\n\n  \n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n \nAntique Auto Club of America\nSouth Carolina Region \n  \n
