  1. What a great thing Lyndon B. Johnson has done, jump starting the work for children getting an education. This quote speaks heavily on the subject and we as professionals need not forget it.

  2. Those are some very inspiring quotes. If it was not for Lyndon Johnson, I wonder where will our young children be today as far as early learning opportunities. We as professionals should always advocate for the betterment of our young children and families.
