MCH-Tim Crain Series-The U.S and the 1960s-Lyndon Johnson: Great Society and the War on Poverty
September 20, 2023 @ 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Free
LBJ became the new president of the United States following the assassination of John Kennedy in 1963. Johnson had been a most successful politician throughout the 1950s as Senate majority leader. Unlike most US presidents who focused on foreign policy, Lyndon Johnson was mostly interested in domestic policy. His War on Poverty and Great Society programs significantly reduced the disequilibrium of wealth in the United States. He was also most instrumental in helping to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which is considered to be the single most important piece of legislation ever in American History.
