I am not quite sure what you want to know. "Great Society" was a term used by President Lyndon Johnson to decribe a legislative agenda intended to end poverty and racial discrimination in the US. Ending poverty included more job training, better education at all levels, new jobs, low-cost health insurance and better housing. The idea was to end the circumstances that trapped certain groups of people into poverty from birth. The need for such a program was the factor that led to its creation. It got through Congress because Johnson had won a land-slide victory in 1964.
