NEH Chairman William Adams tours the LBJ Library exhibits.
On Sept. 29, 1965, in a Rose Garden ceremony surrounded by artists and lawmakers, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed into law the National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities Act of 1965. The act called for the creation of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) as separate, independent agencies.
The LBJ Presidential Library celebrated the 50th anniversaries of these two institutions with NEA Chairman Jane Chu and NEH Chairman William Adams on Monday, Dec. 7. The event in the Library Atrium was a conversation moderated by LBJ Library Director Mark Updegrove.
The special event was hosted in partnership with the University of Texas at Austin
