Johnson had probably one of the times to be a president in history. While America was fighting the war over in Vietnam we had a war in our own backyard. Civil Rights the thought that all men are equal a simple thought now, but back then they were rarely if all accepted. The nation was in turmoil after the schools had just been desgregated, and racial protest were everywhere. Now Johnson handled this to the best of his ability.
Johnson did a lot for the poor to he put in to play medicaide and meicare which is still used today. It helps people in need to get the healthcare they deserve. He called his plan "The Great Society." He even instituted VISTA which was a program to try and train people into skilled labor jobs. He was also a teacher at poor schools always trying to encourage his students.
I Imagine this is what he would have looked like.....
