  • The Impact of the Great Society Upon the Lives of Families and Young Children
    ITCA Medicaid Resource and Technical Assistance Paper August 2005 The Impact of the Great Society Upon The Lives of Families and Young Children In May of 1964, the newly elected president, Lyndon Baines Johnson, unveiled his revolutionary plans for the Great Society. The challenge for the remaining century required the use of wisdom, Johnson explained, to advance the quality of our American civilization. ”we have the opportunity to move not only toward the rich society and the powerful society, but upward to the Great Society. It is a place where men are more concerned with the quality of their governments than the quality of their goods. The Great Society rests on abundance and liberty for all. It demands an end to poverty and racial injustice.” In 1965, Democratic majorities in the 89th Congress passed eighty of eighty-three major legislative proposals: an unparalleled record. By 1969, nearly all of Johnson's Great Society reform legislation had become law. The Great Society program became Johnson's agenda for Congress in January 1965: aid to education, attack on disease, Medicare, urban renewal, beautification, conservation, development of depressed regions, a wide-scale fight against poverty, control and prevention of crime and delinquency, and the removal of obstacles to the right to vote. Johnson reasoned that, in modern America, every citizen has the right to adequate health care, a full education, decent housing, and the opportunity to develop his or her own talents. Utilizing a variety of task forces composed of experts, Johnson’s

  • Transforming America's Youth
    As part of his War on Poverty, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Economic Opportunity Act in 1964. The law established Job Corps, which was designed to connect poverty-stricken young people to the land, just as the Civilian Conservation Corps had done a generation earlier. Fifty years later, Job Corps is more vital to the work of the Forest Service than ever. TRANSFORMING AMERICA’S YOUTH 50 YEARS OF JOB CORPS CIVILIAN CONSERVATION CENTERS his year marks the 50th anniversary of President Lyndon Johnson’s call on Americans to build a “great society” and his sponsorship of the largest social T and economic reform agenda since President Franklin D.
