Lady Bird Johnson contributed to spreading hope & beautifying America by promoting the use of wildflowers along the highways of the nation. She was an advocate for beautifying the nation’s cities & highways, and the Highway Beautification Act of 1965 was informally known as “Lady Bird’s Bill.” It was the pet project of the First Lady, who believed that beauty, & generally clean streets, would make the United States a better place to live.
