How is Johnson's speech similar to Kennedy's
speech?
The challenge of the next half century is whether we have
the wisdom to use that wealth to enrich and elevate our
national life, and to advance the quality of our American
civilization.
Your imagination, your initiative, and your indignation
will determine whether we build a society where progress
is the servant of our needs, or a society where old values
and new visions are buried under unbridled growth. For
in your time we have the opportunity to move not only
toward the rich society and the powerful society, but
upward to the Great Society.
-Lyndon B. Johnson,
May 22, 1964

sacrifices

security

world
They both focus on differences between the upper
and lower classes
