This photograph by Joseph J. Scherschel shows guests lingering on the South Lawn following President Lyndon B. Johnson's remarks to the 400 delegates of the Status of Women Convention on July 29, 1965. The convention arose from the Presidential Commission on the Status of Women. The commission was created by President John F. Kennedy through an executive order and the first chair was former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt -- her last public position. Following the commission's conclusion, several members went on to found the National Organization for Women.
