President Lyndon B. Johnson's effort to help poor people was known as the "Great Society" program, which encompassed a wide range of social reforms aimed at eliminating poverty and racial injustice. Within this broader vision, the specific set of initiatives targeted at reducing poverty was known as the "War on Poverty." These initiatives were launched in the 1960s and included several programs designed to improve education, provide better healthcare, and support job training and employment opportunities among America's poor and underprivileged communities.
