What were two of the accomplishments of the Johnson administration?
1. The Civil Rights Act of 1964: This landmark legislation, signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson, outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, and paved the way for the desegregation of public facilities and the protection of voting rights for African Americans.
2. The War on Poverty: Johnson declared a "War on Poverty" as part of his Great Society initiative, which aimed to address the root causes of poverty and provide assistance to those in need. This led to the creation of programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, and Head Start, which aimed to improve healthcare, education, and economic opportunities for disadvantaged Americans.
