These historical videos are important to watch so we can understand the intent at which these policies were passed so when we talk about it in modern times we can accurately describe what is meant through its passage and see if it needs updating or changed to adjust to the times. This is a great speech and everyone should watch it

OMG, I owe my whole success in life to this president, through his "War on Poverty." I was able to get my GED, go to college, become a teacher myself, and taught for several years. Now I enjoy my retirement and build an inheritance for my children. WE need more of this man!!!

One of the most important things that have happened in our history! Thank you for pulling this from archives , this is an important thing for everyone to watch and Understand!

This is so wonderful! Thank you ❤

I'm so glad the the President used the phrase "hunger for freedom". Hunger implies a NEED for all people.... "Irrelevant differences"... "God is the Father of us ALL." Civil Rights Act

Thank you thank you so much for sharing this

A great day for our history. This video should be shown at every school. Now it is time to make sure that the promises made that historic day are completed.

Amen to that!!!❤❤❤

When you see him giving up his signature on civil rights it is a clear indicator of what this nation has become since Lincoln. You can not run from the truth but we can stop living a lie. The time for continuing the real dream is now.

Thank you!

Astonishing how many of you Americans don’t fully appreciate how important Johnson specifically was to the Civil Rights Act. No he did not just finish what JFK started. The bill was doomed to death in the Senate, just as plenty of iterations had been previously. His unique powers of persuasion, skills, and relationships saw the filibuster end. This is not to say he was a perfect man, far from it. There was his treatment of Lady Bird, Vietnam, casual and habitual sexual and verbal harassment, racist language, and more. I highly highly recommend Robert Caro’s biographies of Lyndon Johnson (yes there are more than one). They will give incredible insight into the most interesting President certainly of modern times.

Johnson had a choice, either lead, follow or get out of the way. All the credit goes to the civil rights movement.

HEART OF GOLD

THEY want to take us back to the era BEFORE the signing...Its so easy to see

When was the last time you heard the President address us as fellow Americans? Trump never did.

Just remember in states like Florida, Texas, Alabama, and many more this historic speech and the events that precluded it will no longer be taught to school children becasue it could be classified as CRT AKA uncomfortable truths that spark conversation. Imagine an entire generation of American children that will never know about their nations true history all because their parents don't want to deal with the questions they may have about life. We have truly become soft as a country. People ask whats killing our nation? Well, our refusual to learn from the past certainly doesnt help.

An absolute historic moment in history

FREEDOM!!!!JUSTICE!!!!! FREEDOM!!!! WAKE UP CALL AMERICANS CALLING FREEDOM AGAIN!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

Thank You God Bless You all Sir Peace upon with you all

1:51, This is a great post.

Can you imagine if most politicians spoke like this today, work as hard in the backrooms, and though far from perfect was prepared to go through such trials?

Remind us Lord!!

This was something to be proud of for our country! I am ashamed today.

Im sure all involved would agree, despite being polititians, that the message, is what matters here, who said it is not to seek glory. He does not glorify himself in anyway. He credited M.L.K. Not Himself. He never said his name. Like we should stop labeling races at all. What do we need them for? Throw away lables. And then we will be free, to all live as we were meant to, together.

Almost 60 years ago now.

Millenials and subsequent generations never watched this

❤

a good president for the times

The supremacist court will get rid of this too

Very brave, no politician have this level of courage today.

Can anyone make out what Pres. Johnson says to MLK at 12:57 ?

I wouldn't be surprised if the POTUS will try to repeal the law of civil rights act too !😢

My 2 siblings are a Product of Head Start, and when my Youngest Sister came along well at that Time My Dad did not qualify for that. As the Song Says " You got to know when to hold them, when to fold them, when to Walk away and .... Those Old WASP's need to Step Down and let someone Far Younger and Better to take it to the Next Level. Just Saying...

And instead of going forward, we went backward. Humanity is their own worst enemy. So sad😢

What happened to the pen MLK Jr finally received from President?

Lyndon B. Johnson (D) At the time of Kennedy’s assassination, U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War remained fairly limited. But that changed in August 1964, when the so-called Gulf of Tonkin incident prompted Congress to grant expansive war-making powers to newly installed President Lyndon B. Johnson. Recognizing that the South Vietnamese government and army were on the verge of collapse, Johnson sent the first U.S. combat troops into battle in early 1965. He simultaneously authorized a massive bombing campaign, codenamed Operation Rolling Thunder, that would continue unabated for years. Draft calls soon skyrocketed-along with draft resistance-and by 1967 there were around 500,000 U.S. troops in Vietnam. That same year, large anti-war demonstrations popped up in cities across America. U.S. officials kept insisting that victory was imminent. But, as the Pentagon Papers would later reveal, these comments were deeply misleading. In reality, the conflict had devolved into a quagmire. Vietnam became so polarizing, and Johnson’s name became so synonymous with the war effort, that he ultimately decided not to run for re-election in 1968. 1966 - Lyndon B. Johnson expanded the number of troops being sent into Vietnam to 385,000. By 1968, the United States had 548,000 troops in Vietnam and had already lost 30,000 Americans there.

This man is what a president should be.

this was John F. Kennedy's idea and legislation.

LBJ made clear he wanted it signed on the 4th of July Weekend with the "188 years ago" reference. The legend of Kennedys is really dying. Biden was Ted Kennedy's closest Senate comrade, and shares with the Kennedys an Irish Catholic identity, and he has not signed anything as significant as the Civil Rights Act. LBJ is only getting stronger the more it becomes clear that he was more responsible for the act's success and that the Kennedys were not the godly legends they have often been hyped as. Biden was one of the last hopes for the legacy of the Kennedys, and he has not signed anything as nearly as significant.

That's a very big mistake. The beginning of the end for the the U.S.

The same year as the Gulf of Tonkin lie. The non existent attack of 8/4/64 and the subsequent commitment to total war in Vietnam.

I believe historians will look at the Hart Celler act as the beginning of the end.

Gosh, he is 56 in this clip but he looks almost 80

This looks exactly like what Trump did. Only on 180 degree of the spectrum! and the saga is not yet unfolded! 152 days and about 9 hours to the 2024 Presidential Election day of Tuesday, November 5, 2024... GOD BLESS AMERICA, then the whole world!

How'd that war in Viet Nam work out for you Lyndon?

You forgot the part where he said he would have the blacks voting Democrat forever you left that part out like you always do

Funny how we forgot how hard he fought against it . Along with most democrats then.

Sounds good, as long as momma is cool with it I'm cool with it... Let me figure out how to setup a payment process.. ...if Brittany G. Would have paid the tax maybe she wouldn't have had to sit in that Russian jail for so long... $3k is not much to pay.. schools cost taxpayers millions, librarys cost millions, roads and hywys cost multiple millions, homeless shelters cost millions... Everything costs money, nothing is cheap .. it is not unreasonable to ask drug dealers and prostitutes to pay their fair share in taxes... $3k cash is not asking too much for the freedom to sell pu**y and small amounts of drugs that people are already buying... If we show momma Rome that we can do this and keep the streets clean maybe after enough time Congress can legislate it... In the meantime we can conduct our own experiment.. if we give them a method to pay the tax and avoid arrest it can help keep them from operating in the dark where real criminal activity is dangerous... The girls deserve to operate in a safe environment... That one chick has around $90k in the bank...asking her to pay $3k is not asking much.... Or they can gamble and get arrested and risk having everything confiscated just like any other norml citizen that avoids paying their taxes... Sounds like a good deal to me...and I can still approach God with a clear consious about it....Love you America! This country has been a blessing to everyone living here... We're not asking for much.. just your fair share..
