Johnson entered office in a time of crisis. Not only was the nation already struggling to pass civil rights legislation, but then-Vice President Johnson also entered the White House due to a tragedy: the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. Johnson successfully united the country in its time of grief and passed landmark civil rights legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the wake of Kennedy\u2019s assassination, Johnson had a clear purpose: Help the country grieve, and give it a path forward. Since these goals were so clear, Johnson was easily able to find a way to fulfill both of them: by passing Kennedy\u2019s civil rights bill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>How Kennedy Felt About Civil Rights Legislation<\/strong><br><br>Lyndon B. Johnson&#8217;s Civil Rights bill was a way to honor Kennedy&#8217;s legacy and to provide Americans with a path forward after his assassination. This is quite remarkable given that, according to historians, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/magazine\/archive\/2014\/04\/what-the-hells-the-presidency-for\/358630\/\">Kennedy was relatively ambivalent about the bill<\/a>. Kennedy supported civil rights but prioritized introducing other types of legislation, and he only introduced the civil rights bill after the issue started to dominate public conversation and he felt he had no other choice. Ultimately, Kennedy announced the bill on June 11, 1963, just hours after <a href=\"https:\/\/millercenter.org\/the-presidency\/educational-resources\/the-civil-rights-act-of-1964\">a standoff at the University of Alabama<\/a>. The state\u2019s governor tried to block two Black students from enrolling at the University of Alabama despite a federal court order allowing them to do so\u2014and Kennedy was forced to send in the Alabama National Guard.&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result,  Johnson\u2019s new purpose became passing the civil rights act\u2014and he only succeeded because his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/clarity-of-purpose\/\">clarity of purpose<\/a> allowed him to make the compromises necessary to achieve what he really wanted. Johnson was initially unwilling to amend the bill in any way. However, when he learned that his opponents wouldn\u2019t vote for the bill until at least <em>some<\/em> of their changes were included, he yielded and allowed them to change the bill: He chose to prioritize <em>passing<\/em> the bill at all over passing it in its original state. Thanks to Johnson\u2019s willingness to compromise, the bill gained bipartisan support\u2014and ultimately became the Civil Rights Act of 1964.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>How Compromising Ultimately Made the Civil Rights Act Stronger<\/strong><br><br>When you\u2019re clear on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/your-life-purpose\/\">your purpose<\/a>, you have an end goal in mind, so you\u2019re willing to compromise on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/small-details\/\">minor details<\/a> as long as you can reach that goal. Sometimes this willingness to compromise doesn\u2019t just help you reach your goal; it results in an even better outcome than you initially expected. This was the case with Johnson: His willingness to amend Kennedy\u2019s civil rights bill didn\u2019t just help get it passed, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.senate.gov\/artandhistory\/history\/civil_rights\/cloture_finalpassage.htm\">it also resulted in even stronger civil rights legislation than Kennedy\u2019s original draft<\/a>. In fact, Senator <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/hubert-humphrey-1968\/\">Hubert Humphrey<\/a>, who negotiated several of the amendments the opposition party wanted, told Johnson, \u201cWe haven\u2019t weakened this bill one damn bit; in fact in some places we\u2019ve improved it.\u201d&nbsp;<br><br>Historians attribute much of this to the work of minority leader Senator Everett Dirksen, who Johnson correctly identified and courted as the person who could get him the votes he needed to pass this bill. Goodwin doesn\u2019t cast Dirksen in the most flattering light, but other historians note that he had a long history of sponsoring civil rights legislation. <a href=\"https:\/\/npg.si.edu\/blog\/everett-dirksen-forgotten-civil-rights-champion\">Dirksen proposed nearly 70 amendments<\/a> to the bill, which made the bill stronger by a) clarifying its language and b) including several minor compromises that appeased legislators on the fence and helped them vote for it.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What did LBJ do as a president?
