Lyndon Johnson
Lyndon B. Johnson was the 36th President of the United States, serving from 1963 to 1969 after the assassination of John F. Kennedy. His domestic agenda, known as the Great Society, aimed to eliminate poverty and racial injustice and included landmark legislation such as the Civil Rights Act and Medicare. Johnson's presidency was also marked by the escalation of the Vietnam War, which ultimately overshadowed his domestic achievements and led to significant political and social upheaval.
