In the aftermath of John F. Kennedy’s assassination, Lyndon B. Johnson was forced to respond to the escalating demands of Martin Luther King, Jr.
Johnson and King engaged in a series of negotiations that led to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, but this spirit of cooperation was irrevocably damaged in 1967 when King made his public statement against the War in Vietnam.
Under Johnson, two landmark pieces of civil rights legislation were passed: the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which outlawed discrimination in public accommodations, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which provided for federal enforcement of voter registration and outlawed literacy tests.

 EO Library: John Martin
Martin professed that by sprinkling a relatively small amount of iron into certain areas of the ocean, known as high-nutrient, low-chlorophyll zones (HNLCs), one could create large blooms of those unicellular aquatic plants commonly known as algae.
In fact, Martin was among the first scientists to successfully test and catalog a wide range of trace metals in the Earth’s oceans.
With regards to the global climate, Martin’s experiments into the amounts of carbon drawn into the seas by algae formed the basis for many of the current large-scale efforts to understand the ocean’s role in the Earth’s carbon budget.
