Lyndon Johnson's impact on America was mostly because of his creation of Medicare & Head- Start. These influenced and impacted health, education & urban renewal.
What I take from this quote is that, people shouldn't judge anyone by their color. Anyone who doesn't give opportunity to someone because of race, is just supporting racism.
Lyndon had nicknames such as ""Bull Johnson, Lightbulb Johnson & Landslide Johnson"". Lyndon was raised on a small farm in Texas. He served in WWII.
