* Civil Rights Act of 1964
* Voting Rights Act of 1965
* Immigration and Nationality Services Act of 1965
* Civil Rights Act of 1968
War on Poverty
* Food Stamp Act of 1964
* Upward Bound
* Head Start
* Model Cities Program
* Economic Opportunity Act of 1964-and the programs it spawned, including:
=> Jobs Corp
=> Community Action Program
=> VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America)
=> Community Legal Services
Education
* Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965
* Higher Education Act of 1965
