President Johnson believed that to become a Great Society, the nation needed to first fix the issue on poverty and racial discrimination. Hope this helps answer your question.

Answer 2

The correct option is B

Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which banned racial discrimination in public facilities and in any business or institution receiving federal funds. Once the Law was put into practice, its effects were far-reaching and had a huge long-term impact throughout the country. Discrimination was prohibited in public schools, in government, and in employment, invalidating the laws of Jim Crow in the southern United States. It became illegal to force the segregation of races in schools, housing, or hiring employees.
