Which US president worked with civil rights leaders to secure equality and liberty?

Answer 1

Quite a string of Presidents have worked with civil-rights leaders, but I’d hesitate to claim that equality and liberty have been “secured.” Lyndon Johnson took the lead on getting the Civil Rights Act passed, but it takes more than law even for one group.

Answer 2

Lyndon B. Johnson--stepping into the presidency after JFK's assassination, LBJ was a president committed to working with civil rights leaders and liberty. LBJ was handed an America in the middle of the Vietnam War--a war that would change and shape politics, civics, policy, and war itself, for the remainder of the 20th century, and continuing now into the 21st century. LBJ and his idea of the "Great Society" was progressive and Democratic, and proceeded. Johnson and his presidency marks the peak of modern liberalism after the New Deal Era.
