How did this Program address it? 
The issue being addressed is the low assistance and low economy the student's struggled with. The Head Start program is meant to provide quality pre-school education to low income children to improve their overall school performance it also provided them with more experiences. Finally the Elementary and Secondary Education Act provided more than $1 billion of federal aid to public schools for their necessities.

2) How would this Program help create a Great Society? What is the Program's legacy?]]> 2021-04-27 05:14:49 UTC https://padlet.com/pdelafuente2/ohcfukl5a5zxede1/wish/1462771485 pdelafuente2 https://padlet.com/pdelafuente2/ohcfukl5a5zxede1/wish/1462771488 1) What Issues were being addressed? How did these Acts address it? 
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 outlawed segregation in public facilities and gave additional power to the Federal Civil Rights Commissions to investigate potential rights violations. But, this act failed to address voting discrimination and motivated Johnson to push for the Voting Rights Act of 1965 which outlawed practices such as literacy tests. Three years later, housing and economic inequality was tackled with the Civil Rights Act of 1968. The Fair Housing Act made it illegal to deny housing on the basis of race but failed to rectify the long-standing income inequality.
2) How would these Acts help create a Great Society? What are the Act's legacy? The acts helped create a great society by establishing a society that provided a more just and equal treatment of all its citizens, regardless of their race. These acts gave racial minorities more political power to improve their lives, and granted opportunities to racial minorities who were previously discriminated against for the sake of the greater society as a whole. Where it failed was in its inability to account for the economic damages done by segregation prior to the acts being passed.]]> 2021-04-27 05:14:49 UTC https://padlet.com/pdelafuente2/ohcfukl5a5zxede1/wish/1462771488 pdelafuente2 https://padlet.com/pdelafuente2/ohcfukl5a5zxede1/wish/1462771492 1) Source - who is Joseph Califano?
