The Great Society Program, initiated by President Lyndon B. Johnson, aimed at combating poverty (II), did not specifically pit governors against poor, African American citizens but sought to address racial injustice among other issues (III), and used federal grants to further national needs such as education and healthcare (IV). Establishing Social Security (I) was not part of the Great Society Program; it was established earlier under President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal.
