Plant for a more beautiful America

In the thread in the previous entry, I mentioned the beautification campaign promoted by First Lady, Lady Bird Johnson, in the 1960s.  I still remember the stamps that were produced as part of the effort.

-- Video of the press conference releasing the stamps, featuring Lady Bird Johnson
-- "Lady Bird's Lost Legacy," New York Times, 2007
-- "The Environmental First Lady," Public Roads Magazine, Mar/Apr 2008

The Highway Beautification Act, which put restrictions on billboards, was one element of the program and vision.
