Lyndon B. Johnson grew up in a house with no electricity and no running water and that many other people faced the same hardships.  One problem that LBJ wanted to solve was poverty.

Not allowing African Americans to stay at the same hotels or eat at the same restaurants as other people is known as segregation.

Senator Lyndon B. Johnson believed that all citizens share basic freedoms that should be respected, and he persuaded other people to pass laws to protect these freedoms, known as civil rights.

Lyndon B. Johnson believed that everyone deserved to be respected no matter what their differences. This shows LBJ’s tolerance towards others.

After Lyndon B. Johnson served as Vice President, he suddenly became the President of the United States because the President was killed.

LBJ’s work displayed the character trait of diligence when he worked for a long time to end segregation. He succeeded when Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964

Spending more money to improve education, housing, and health were part of Johnson’s plan, which was called The Great Society.

Part of President Lyndon B. Johnson helped create a government program to help preschool children learn to read.  The program is still in use today; it is called Head Start.

President Lyndon B. Johnson signed a law that made it illegal to require African Americans to take tests in order to vote and ended other unfair practices.  The law was called the voting right act.

To pay for the services that government provides, people pay taxes.
