Answer:

President Johnson, during his time in office, proposed a strong civil rights bill that Kennedy supported; he also was succesful at his proposal to increase Federal aid to education; and he appointed the first African American to the Supreme Court.

Explanation:

-He proposed a strong civil rights bill that Kennedy supported.

Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which had been proposed by President Kennedy. This law prohibited racial discrimination in public facilities and in any business or institution receiving federal funds. Once the law was put into effect, 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 Jim Crow Laws in the southern United States.

-He was successful at his proposal to increase Federal aid to education.

Johnson fervently believed that education was a cure for ignorance and poverty, and was an essential component of the American dream, especially for the minorities who endured the bad facilities and low budgets on the part of the local administrations, especially in the deep South. He made education the top priority of the social agenda, with an emphasis on helping poor children, aiming to double federal education spending from 4 billion to 8 billion, which was aprooved in his second term.

-He appointed the first African American to the Supreme Court.

In 1967, Johnson nominated civil rights attorney Thurgood Marshall to be the first African-American Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.

This is your answer it may be long.Japanese expansion in East Asia began in 1931 with the invasion of Manchuria and continued in 1937 with a brutal attack on China. On September 27, 1940, Japan signed the Tripartite Pact with Germany and Italy, thus entering the military alliance known as the "Axis." Seeking to curb Japanese aggression and force a withdrawal of Japanese forces from Manchuria and China, the United States imposed economic sanctions on Japan. Faced with severe shortages of oil and other natural resources and driven by the ambition to displace the United States as the dominant Pacific power, Japan decided to attack the United States and British forces in Asia and seize the resources of Southeast Asia.

What happened when Lee Yick appealed his conviction for running an illegal laundry in San Francisco to the U.S. Supreme Court?

Norma-Jean [14]

C. The Supreme Court decided that authorities had unfairly singled him out because of his race. This was because Lee Yick had worked in a laundromat for twenty years and it was illegal at the time that laundromats were to be built in wooden rooms. However, ninety-five percent of laundromats were in wooden complexes and only some of them were Chinese-owned, while others were owned by other races. However, Lee Yick was singled out and the Supreme Court ruled that although the law said it was race-blind, it in fact was judging him based on his race.
