Great Society
The Great Society was a series of Domestic initiatives announced in 1964 by President Lyndon Johnson at Ann Arbor, Michigan. These programs include:- VISTA[?],
- Job Corps,
- Upward Bound[?],
- Neighborhood Youth Corps[?],
- Head Start[?] and
- an unconditional war on poverty[?].
The Great Society was never fully funded because of the Vietnam War, which drained available resources. It was partially overturned by President Ronald Reagan's first budget.
