The flag

The most favorite thing was this a flag flown over the birth place of Lyndon B. Johnson it was flown on May 27, 1990

Lyndon Baines Johnson was sworn into office on Nov. 22, 1963; 2 hours after Kennedy’s assassination; aboard Air Force One. He was the first

present to ever be sworn in there.

The 1964 Civil Rights Act made racial discrimination in public places; such as theaters, restaurants, and hotels; illegal. It also required employers to provide equal employment opportunities. Projects involving federal funds could now be cut off if there was evidence of discrimination based on color, race, or national origin. It also attempted to deal with the African-American voting rights.

LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act on July 2, 1964

The Great Society was a series of domestic initiatives announced in 1964 by President Lyndon Johnson in Ann Arbor, Michigan. A main focus of these social reforms to "end to poverty and racial injustice" was the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The efforts also helped establish the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Other programs included: VISTA, Job Corps, Upward Bound, Neighborhood Youth Corps, Head Start, and an unconditional war on poverty!

LBJ calls for reforms to make his Great Society on

Jan. 4, 1965

“MEDICARE begins tomorrow. Tomorrow, for the first time, nearly every older American will receive hospital care-not as an act of charity, but as the insured right of a senior citizen. Since I signed the historic Medicare act last summer, we have made more extensive preparation to launch this program than for any other peaceful undertaking in our Nation's history.”

Lyndon B. signed the Medicare act into law July 3, 1965

LBJ calls for funding to escalate the war in

Vietnam… A record $112.9 billion for fiscal 1967. He did this on Jan. 24, 1966

On June 13, 1967, LBJ appointed Thurmond Marshall to the Supreme Court, replacing the retiring Justice Tom Clark of Texas. He was the first black to serve on the Court and was, in most reports, an almost larger-than-life figure there. He stepped down from the Court in July 1991 due to failing health and died of heart failure on January 24, 1993 at Bethesda Naval Medical Center in Maryland.

On April 4, 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s life was ended by an assassin's s bullet while he was on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee.

Robert Francis Kennedy was slain on June 5, 1968 at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, California shortly after claiming victory in that state's crucial Democratic primary. He was 42 years old.

And so we said goodbye to LBJ.

We remember him as honest, and willing to try.

For bringing down poverty.

And for just being a good guy.

Lyndon Baines Johnson died of a heart attack in San Antonio, Texas, on January 22nd, 1973.
