Conflict

Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and President Lyndon Johnson worked together to achieve major civil rights victories in 1964 and 1965. But then the Vietnam War got in the way. King’s public denunciation of the war was widely condemned, even by many in his own movement, and ruined his relationship with Johnson.
