Goal 11 Part 4 Lyndon B. Johnson’s GREAT SOCIETY

Lyndon B. Johnson Sworn in as President after JFK’s assassination (1963) Goal for America = The Great Society (poverty, attack on racial injustices, economy, education, environment, consumer protection, housing, healthcare, consumer protection & rights of the accused) *** VERY successful –later elected in 1968 WAR ON POVERTY = it worked!

Great Society programs / laws Tax – Cut Bill (Tax Reduction Act)(1964) = $10 billion cut – spurred economic growth and cut deficit spending from 6 to 4 billion **********Civil Rights Act (1964)********** - Prohibited discrimination based on race, religion, gender & gave the power to the government to enforce it! - (loss of federal funding if proven guilty) - *** Why do we need this when we have Brown??

Economic Opportunity Act (EOA) 1964 (Great Society Program) $ 1 billion to the YOUTH of America Created the following: Job Corps: youth training program *jobs VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) Project Headstart: underprivileged “preschoolers” Community Action Program: encourage poor people to participate on public work projects

Great Society Attacks DISCRIMINATION in America 24 th Amendment – no more “poll tax” Voting Rights Act (1965) - No more “literacy test” - * Remember: poll tax and literacy tests were ways for the South to limit cultures from receiving rights

Education and Healthcare: Elementary and Secondary Education Act = $ 1 billion to purchase textbooks and library materials HEALTHCARE (GREAT SOCIETY) Medicare - Provides insurance for Americans over 65 years old Medicaid – extends health insurance for welfare recipients

Immigration & Environment (GREAT SOCIETY) Immigration Act (1965) -ended immigration based on quotas (no more quotas) - opened Southern and Eastern Europe to immigrate into America - Dissolved the Emergency Quota Act from the 1920s - Why did we limit years ago??? Environment: *****Rachel Carson: Silent Spring – exposed the hidden dangers of “pesticides” on the environment (chemicals getting into the rivers and lakes of America) = leads to the Water Quality Act – states given money to clean up rivers and lakes

Consumer Protection & Warren Court Ralph Nader –Unsafe at Any Speed Criticized the auto industry for ignoring risks or safety concerns ************************************************************ WARREN COURT (Chief Justice Earl Warren) LIBERALISM – took over the court system throughout the 50’s- 60’s *Great Society ******** GAVE MORE RIGHTS TO THE ACCUSED ********* Brown V. Board of Education (1954) Segregation = unconstitutional (****OVERTURNED: Plessy v. Ferguson****)

RIGHTS OF THE ACCUSED (GREAT SOCIETY/ WARREN COURT) Mapp v. Ohio – evidence seized illegally cannot be used to incriminate the accused Gideon v. Wainwright – a court-ordered lawyer will be appointed to you if you cannot afford it (right to counsel during court process) Escobedo v. Illinois – the accused have the right to counsel “DURING” police questioning Miranda v. Arizona – accused MUST be read their rights BEFORE questioning *The ACCUSED are receiving MORE RIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!
