Lyndon B. Johnson was the 36th President of the United States, serving from 1963 to 1969. He took office following the assassination of John F. Kennedy, his predecessor, and is known for his Great Society programs, which aimed to eliminate poverty and racial injustice. Johnson also escalated U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, a controversial decision that overshadowed much of his presidency. His administration is marked by significant civil rights legislation, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
