Explanation:

Lyndon B. Johnson, known by his initials, LBJ, was the thirty-sixth President of the United States, who took office after the death of his predecessor John F. Kennedy in 1963 and which he held until 1969. Johnson assumed the position of President , after the assassination of John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, on the plane that was transporting the remains of this from Dallas.

In 1964, at Johnson's request, Congress passed the Revenue Act of 1964 and the Economic Opportunity Act, as part of the war on poverty. Johnson established in the movement regulations the creation of programs such as Head Start, food stamps and work and study. During Johnson's presidential years, national poverty declined significantly among Americans living below the poverty line, from 23 percent to less than 12 percent.
