THE GREAT SOCIETY

January 30 - February 2, 2011

     At commencement exercises at the University of Michigan in May of 1964, President Lyndon Johnson announced his goal of achieving “the Great Society.” Over the next several years, Congress passed and LBJ signed a series of laws that revolutionized the size and scope of the federal government.

     This third CCA of the 2010-2011 academic year will consider the history and legacy of the Great Society.
