Why don't people celebrate President Johnson as well as Martin ?


"A Great Society" for the American people and their fellow men elsewhere was the vision of Lyndon B. Johnson.An attempt to deal with the increasing demands of blacks for equal rights came in 1964 when President Lyndon Baines Johnson asked for and received the most comprehensive civil-rights act to date; the act specifically prohibited discrimination in voting, education, and the use of public facilities. For the first time since the Supreme Court ruled on segregation in public.

Johnson played both sides in the civil rights battle. He pacified groups that opposed the civil rights act before he bowed to pressures to expand civil rights. In the end, he played his part for political reasons unlike MLK who acted based on the principles he believed in.

I think a lot of folks think he had something to do with JFK assignation. He has presidents day /
