Summary[edit]

Description

Ken Burns and Luci Baines Johnson share a laugh in the green room before the event.

On April 27, 2017, the LBJ Foundation honored Emmy Award-winning documentary filmmaker Ken Burns with the 2017 Lady Bird Johnson Environmental Award, presented by President and Lady Bird Johnson’s daughters, Luci Baines Johnson and Lynda Johnson Robb. The evening featured a conversation between Burns and former LBJ Library Director Mark K. Updegrove.

In his 40 years of filmmaking, Burns has reached millions of viewers of PBS through his inventive style of storytelling. The National Parks: America's Best Idea, broadcast on PBS in 2009, captured an idea as uniquely American as the Declaration of Independence and just as radical: that the most special places in the nation should be preserved, not for royalty or the rich, but for everyone. Filmed over the course of more than six years at some of nature's most spectacular locales – from Acadia to Yosemite, Yellowstone to the Grand Canyon, the Everglades of Florida to the Gates of the Arctic in Alaska. The series reawakened a nation's consciousness to the natural world. As a direct result of the publicity and broadcast of the documentary, national parks across the country saw a dramatic increase in attendance.
