Lyndon B. Johnson (1908–1973) was the 36th President of the United States, serving from 1963 to 1969. Born in Stonewall, Texas, Johnson began his political career in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1937 and later moved to the Senate, where he became the Majority Leader. As John F. Kennedy’s vice president, he assumed the presidency after Kennedy’s assassination in 1963.
Johnson is best known for his “Great Society” programs, which aimed to eliminate poverty and racial injustice. He signed landmark legislation, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and initiated Medicare and Medicaid.
However, his presidency was overshadowed by the escalation of the Vietnam War, which led to widespread protests and diminished his popularity. Johnson chose not to seek re-election in 1968 and retired to his Texas ranch, where he passed away in 1973.
