Current Implications. Lyndon B. Johnson was mentioned many times in our history. One of the most recent however was when the movie “ Selma” came out. The new film “Selma”, directed by Ava DuVernay, portrays Lyndon B. Johnson in a negative way, which not at all brought out his actual self. It shows him as a “laggard” to African American voting rights, and not being completely into the idea. In real life however, Lyndon fully supported the act and rights for African Americans.
