It's more than one hair out of place. It's the leader of the civil rights movement and the President of the United States. Rather important, I'd say.
How many people are going to come away from this movie thinking Johnson was "on the wrong side" when in reality he did the right thing. Johnson said privately that by supporting civil rights legislation, the Democrats would lose the South for generations. But he did it.
The movie portrayed LBJ as bit cautious for MLK's taste - who didn't want to lose the momentum. Despite the snub by the AA it will become a Classic.
