LBJ could be a dick, granted, but Joe Califano, one of LBJ's aides in the 1960s, saw many private sides to the man, and one time, LBJ was arguing with a Senator, nearly moved to tears as he described the grinding poverty of the black people he'd seen in Texas, and all the Senator could keep doing was go on about how he just ~knew~ all black people popped out ten babies a family and were totally irresponsible, based on one family he'd known of back when he was young.

He also emphasized in many ways his very real sensitivity to the fact that being poor and broke doesn't make a person a totally inhuman object. He used to say that the difference between him and a bum he saw on the street was (holds thumb and finger very close together) "that much".

He was also the one to convince J Edgar Hoover to go after the KKK, which was no small feat.
