LYNDON B. JOHNSON

Here is a small clip of President Lyndon B. Johnson's State of the Union address declaring War on Poverty. Here Johnson explains the execution of plan to diminish poverty rates in America and methods to provide education and funding for families. I chose this particular clip because it perfectly exemplifies the procedures taken in the beginning of the Headstart program, one of Johnson's several programs in the War on Poverty.

 "All adults who care about a baby will naturally be in competition for that baby.... Each adult wishes that he or she could do each job a bit more skillfully for the infant or small child than the other."-T. Berry Brazelton, M.D.

  "It was a joyful experience where I felt that everything in me was being called on to teach- and also, it was very rewarding, it just made me feel whole. It made me feel whole, it made me feel creative and so, it became my lifelong work, with early childhood education. and to make sure that all children were taught in enviornments and in ways that truly nurtured their ability to grow and develop to their fullest ability"-Louise Derman-Sparks
