Objectives of the Great Society
“The time has come for America to advance into a new era of opportunity and justice for all its people. We must dismantle the enduring structures of segregation and inequality that have long divided our nation. It is my firm conviction that the empowerment of the individual is the cornerstone of a prosperous society. As we witness the struggles of those who have been marginalized, let us commit to legislative actions that uplift every citizen. Through comprehensive reforms, we can create a society where opportunity is not reserved for a select few, but is accessible to every American. Our journey toward the Great Society is marked by our dedication to civil rights and the unwavering belief in the value of human dignity.”
—President Lyndon B. Johnson, “Remarks on Civil Rights and Economic Opportunity,” 1964
