Lyndon B Johnson had several goals as a president, including ending poverty and other social problems within America.
Lyndon B Johnson implemented what became known as his "Great Society" programs in 1964. The goal of these programs was to cure social ills like poverty, inequality for African American citizens, etc.
A perfect example of this would be LBJ's "War on Poverty." LBJ tried to combat poverty by creating social welfare programs that were supposed to give Americans access to food and other social services (like healthcare, childcare services).
