And no ship represented the apex of the American Century better than the 729-foot-long \u003cem\u003eEdmund Fitzgerald\u003c\/em\u003e—the biggest, best, and most profitable ship on the Lakes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut on November 10, 1975, as the “storm of the century” threw 100 mile-per-hour winds and 50-foot waves on Lake Superior, the Mighty Fitz found itself at the worst possible place, at the worst possible time.

In his twenties, Dick was one of the brilliant young men of John F. Kennedy’s New Frontier. In his thirties he both named and helped design Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society and was a speechwriter and close advisor to Robert Kennedy. Doris Kearns was a twenty-four-year-old graduate student when selected as a White House Fellow. She worked directly for Lyndon Johnson and later assisted on his memoir.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver the years, with humor, anger, frustration, and in the end, a growing understanding, Dick and Doris had argued over the achievements and failings of the leaders they served and observed, debating the progress and unfinished promises of the country they both loved.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Goodwins’ last great adventure involved finally opening the more than three hundred boxes of letters, diaries, documents, and memorabilia that Dick had saved for more than fifty years. They soon realized they had before them an unparalleled personal time capsule of the 1960s, illuminating public and private moments of a decade when individuals were powered by the conviction they could make a difference; a time, like today, marked by struggles for racial and economic justice, a time when lines were drawn and loyalties tested.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir expedition gave Dick’s last years renewed purpose and determination. It gave Doris the opportunity to connect and reconnect with participants and witnesses of pivotal moments of the 1960s. And it gave them both an opportunity to make fresh assessments of the central figures of the time—John F. Kennedy, Jacqueline Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., Robert Kennedy, Eugene McCarthy, and especially Lyndon Johnson, who greatly impacted both their lives. The voyage of remembrance brought unexpected discoveries, forgiveness, and the renewal of old dreams, reviving the hope that the youth of today will carry forward this unfinished love story with America.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"descriptionPanel___wCiv7\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"acc-font-no-hover medium-small-font bold descriptionHeader___aNBPJ\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiGrid-root MuiGrid-container css-1b1jvye\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panelContent___B_vGb\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoris Kearns Goodwin’s\u003c\/strong\u003e work for President Johnson inspired her career as a presidential historian.
