Johnson-Humphrey Administration

The Johnson-Humphrey Administration, referring to President Lyndon B. Johnson and Vice President Hubert Humphrey's time in office (1963–1969), was marked by major social reforms. Johnson focused on the "Great Society" programs aimed at reducing poverty, improving education, and expanding healthcare like Medicare and Medicaid. The administration also advanced civil rights, passing laws to end racial discrimination. During this period, the U.S. was involved in the Vietnam War, which caused significant debate and protests. Overall, their leadership sought to promote social justice, economic opportunity, and a more equitable society, though not without significant controversy over their policies.
