2008 marked the centennial of Lyndon Baines Johnson's birth. As part of the celebration, the University collaborated with the Lyndon Baines Johnson Museum of San Marcos to conduct a total of 45 oral histories relating to Johnson's life and legacy.

Forty-nine individuals, interviewed by historian Barbara Thibodeaux, recalled their memories of Johnson.
