Sonner detailed Dick Goodwin\u2019s journals that he wrote during the 1968 Democratic National Convention, and Morena chose a cigar box given by Che Guevara to Dick Goodwin. While in conversation with Center deputy director Erin Purdy, Doris Kearns Goodwin explained the history of Lyndon Baines Johnson\u2019s \u201cWe Shall Overcome\u201d speech.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibit is free and open to the public.
