#OnThisDay: Sixty-six years ago, on November 8, 1960, #LBJ was elected Vice President of the United States and reelected to a third term in the U.S. Senate.

The Kennedy-Johnson ticket defeated the Nixon-Lodge ticket in one of the closest presidential elections in U.S. history.

#OnThisDay: Sixty-one years ago, #LBJ signed the #HigherEducationAct at his alma mater, now @txst. The landmark law expanded access to college, opening doors for millions of Americans.

Today, @TheLBJSchool carries forward his legacy of public service.
