Beto O’Rourke served as the guest speaker at the 2025 LBJ Museum Benefit Gala, held on Saturday, January 25, 2025 at the LBJ Student Center at Texas State University in San Marcos.
Beto’s presentation offered valuable insights into voting rights, particularly through the narrative of Lawrence Aaron Nixon and his struggle from the 1920s until 1944 to secure his right to vote, despite the Supreme Court ruling in his favor.
Throughout the evening, Beto engaged with the audience, taking photos with many attendees, as you can see below.
