Johnson, sought to address the systemic issues highlighted by the Civil Rights Movement and alarming statistics revealing the struggles of millions of Americans living in poverty. The initiative aimed to create comprehensive social programs and economic opportunities to improve living conditions and promote social justice. The 1964 Economic Opportunity Act was a key legislative response, marking a commitment to eradicate poverty through education, job training, and community development.
