JFK & LBJ: A Time For Greatness (S14E02)

President Lyndon B. Johnson is often primarily associated with the intensification of U.S. military engagement in Vietnam. However, his contributions to American society extend far beyond this conflict. Johnson played a pivotal role in the enactment of two landmark pieces of legislation: the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, both of which significantly advanced civil rights in the United States. His legacy encompasses critical social reforms that reshaped the nation’s landscape.
