President Johnsons State of the Union Address January 8, 1964 Our task is to help replace their despair with opportunity. This administration today, here and now, declares unconditional war on poverty in America. Unfortunately, many Americans live on the outskirts of hope -- some because of their poverty, and some because of their color, and all too many because of both.
