Johnson had strong support from the Democratic Party and as president he was responsible for the drafting of the Great Society legislation which included the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act, aimed at improving the civil and political rights of African Americans, as well as other laws that upheld public broadcasting, Medicare, Medicaid, environmental protection, education support and his "war on poverty".
