Lyndon Johnson largely supported and continued many of John F. Kennedy's policies after he assumed the presidency following Kennedy's assassination in 1963. However, he also sought to expand and accelerate certain initiatives, particularly in civil rights and social welfare, through his Great Society programs. While there were some differences in approach and emphasis, Johnson's administration is generally seen as building upon Kennedy's legacy rather than working against it.
