Some think Lyndon Johnson was not one of our best presidents.
But Johnson did pass the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964, and that was and is a really big deal.
Today I saw one effect of outlawing dscrimination in education. In 1964 there were 365,000 African American bachelor's degrees awarded. In 2014 5.1 million were awarded.
Imagine how many lives are changed by that!
One more thought; if you think there is no role for government, try to imagine this outcome without government's involvement.

Good information, Without Government involvement it is not that easiest task as all think, whatever the good or stringent things to happen in the country, there must be a role of government. " Sure there are dishonest men in local government. But there are dishonest men in national government too", told by Richard Nixon.
