Lyndon B. Johnson

Lyndon B. Johnson vocabulary

QuestionAnswer
Lyndon B. Johnson grew up near Stonewall, Texas in poverty. He did not have electricity or running water.
LBJ’s father was a representative in the Texas legislature. This inspired LBJ to one day work in the government. LBJ’s grandfather predicted that he would one day be a Senator.
In 1931, LBJ got his first government job and went to work for a member of Congress from Texas. He lived in Washington D.C. where he learned a lot about the government.
In 1937, Johnson was elected as a representative of his district in Texas. He was the youngest member of Congress (only 28 years old) at that time!!
LBJ believed education was very important and could help those in poverty.
While a representative, LBJ voted to make roads better. He also helped to bring electricity to his hometown.
In 1948, LBJ was elected as a senator of Texas (his grandfather was right!). As senator, he had more power than when he was a representative.
