Great Society

The Great Society was a series of domestic programs launched by President Lyndon B. Johnson in the 1960s aimed at eliminating poverty and improving the quality of life in the United States. It involved initiatives like Medicare and Medicaid to help healthcare, education reforms, and efforts to improve housing and transportation. The goal was to create a more equitable society by addressing social inequalities, expanding rights, and ensuring everyone had access to basic services. It marked a significant effort to shape a fairer and more inclusive America through government action.
