Lyndon Baines Johnson was born on August 27 near central Texas. When he graduated from Southwest State Teachers College in 1930, he decided to take up a teaching role at a school for Mexican-American students in south Texas for him to save up funds and pay for his education.

During his time at the school, he had first-hand look at the effects of poverty and discrimination on his students and that made remarkable impression on him and he decided he was going on a lifelong journey to find solutions to these challenges.  

When he became the 36th President of America, following the assignation of President Kennedy, he declared war on poverty and compelled the congress to pass certain legislations aimed at tackling issues around illiteracy, unemployment and racial discrimination.
