That pretty much sums him up. After JFK was assassinated, Richard Russell told his fellow segregationists in Congress, that they could have beaten him on civil rights, but ultimately, they weren't going to be able to beat LBJ on civil rights, because he understood power, and he wasn't afraid to use it.
