| | Johnson had begun his political career as a disciple of Franklin D. Roosevelt, and his fondest dream was to create a record of domestic achievement comparable to that of the New Deal. | | | Lyndon B. Johnson, early in his unexpected presidency, called on the federal government to create a "great society" in America. | | | A third civil rights act in 1968 banned housing discrimination and extended constitutional protections to Indians on reservations. |

| | H102 Lecture 27: The Almost Great Society: The 1960s |
| | Following the tradition of using catchphrases to describe major domestic programs started by Franklin D. Roosevelt, President Johnson announced his "Great Society" during the presidential campaign of 1964. | | | So, although, the Johnson administration made great progress in the realm of civil rights, it also paid homage to white conservatives by the end of the decade. | | | The Kerner Commission found that the country was divided, along racial and socio-economic lines, into two societies: 40% of non-whites lived below the federal government's poverty line, black men were twice as likely to be unemployed as whites and three times as likely to be in low-skill jobs. |

| | Believing that problems of housing, income, employment, and health were ultimately a federal responsibility, Johnson used the weight of the presidency and his formidable political skills to enact the most impressive array of reform legislation since the days of Franklin Roosevelt. | | | The first southerner to reside in the White House in half a century, Johnson showed a stronger commitment to improving the position of black Americans than any previous president. | | | During the 1960s median black family income rose 53 percent; black employment in professional, technical, and clerical occupations doubled; and average black educational attainment increased by four years. |

| | The Great Society: A Libertarian Critique by Murray N. Rothbard |
| | It was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 1935. | | | All of these assorted Deals constituted a basic and fundamental shift in American life – a shift from a relatively laissez-faire economy and minimal state to a society in which the state is unquestionably king. | | | The point is that state power in society was minimal, relative to other times and countries, and that the general locus of decision making resided therefore in the individuals making up society rather than in the State. |
