Lyndon Johnson actually said...

"Our Nation's progress and the progress of all humankind toward equality of rights and toward opportunity is a steady climb and not just a big, quick leap."

"I believe the work of this Committee has done much to lay the groundwork for the responsible and, I believe, peaceful acceptance of the Civil Rights Act of 1964."

"The people of this country have a long, hard road to travel before we will have achieved all of our objectives."

"I, Lyndon B. Johnson, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate July 9, 1964, as Monocacy Battle Centennial."
