President Lyndon B. Johnson believed it was important to promote civil rights and address social injustices to fulfill America's promise of equality and opportunity for all citizens. He saw civil rights as essential to the nation's moral integrity and as a way to achieve his broader vision of a "Great Society," which aimed to eliminate poverty and racial injustice. Johnson understood that advancing civil rights legislation, such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, would help unite the country and strengthen democracy.
