The Democratic landslide in the 1964 Presidential Election gave President Johnson the Congressional power and popular mandate he wanted to wage his War on Poverty and usher in his Great Society agenda. For good or ill we live with the legacy today. In my life, the first outcome was school integration. Black children […]
