present to ever be sworn in there.

4. The 1964 Civil Rights Act made racial
discrimination in public places; such as theaters,
restaurants, and hotels; illegal. It also required
employers to provide equal employment
opportunities. Projects involving federal funds
could now be cut off if there was evidence of
discrimination based on color, race, or national
origin. It also attempted to deal with the African-
American voting rights.
LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act on July 2, 1964

5. The Great Society was a series of domestic initiatives
announced in 1964 by President Lyndon Johnson in Ann
Arbor, Michigan. A main focus of these social reforms to "end
to poverty and racial injustice" was the Voting Rights Act of
1965. The efforts also helped establish the Department of
Housing and Urban Development. Other programs included:
VISTA, Job Corps, Upward Bound, Neighborhood Youth
Corps, Head Start, and an unconditional war on poverty!
LBJ calls for reforms to make his Great Society on
Jan. 4, 1965

7. “MEDICARE begins tomorrow. Tomorrow, for the first
time, nearly every older American will receive hospital
care-not as an act of charity, but as the insured right of a
senior citizen. Since I signed the historic Medicare act
last summer, we have made more extensive preparation
to launch this program than for any other peaceful
undertaking in our Nation's history.”
-LBJ
Lyndon B. signed the Medicare act into law July 3,
1965

escalate the war in
Vietnam… A record $112.9

10. On June 13, 1967, LBJ appointed Thurmond Marshall to the Supreme
Court, replacing the retiring Justice Tom Clark of Texas. He was the first
black to serve on the Court and was, in most reports, an almost larger-
than-life figure there. He stepped down from the Court in July 1991 due
to failing health and died of heart failure on January 24, 1993 at
Bethesda Naval Medical Center in Maryland.

11. On April 4, 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s life was
ended by an assassin's s bullet while he was on the
balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee.

12. Robert Francis Kennedy was slain on June 5, 1968 at the
Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, California shortly after
claiming victory in that state's crucial Democratic primary.
He was 42 years old.

14. And so we said goodbye to LBJ.
We remember him as honest, and willing to try.
For bringing down poverty.
And for just being a good guy.
Lyndon Baines Johnson died of a heart attack in
San Antonio, Texas, on January 22nd, 1973.
