Answer: D. Lyndon Johnson
Lyndon Baines Johnson, who later became the 36th President of the United States, began his career as a young teacher at a school for Mexican American students. After graduating from college in 1930, Johnson taught at a segregated school for Mexican American children in Cotulla, Texas. His experiences there shaped his views on education and civil rights, which influenced his later political career, especially during his presidency when he enacted significant education and civil rights legislation.
