Bio:

Upon receiving the body, his family attempted to arrange to bury him at the local cemetery, which was segregated and limited to whites. Freshman Senator Lyndon B. Johnson intervened in the case. He gained approval for Longoria's remains to be reinterred in Arlington National Cemetery in a full military ceremony, along with the remains of eighteen other soldiers whose remains had been repatriated from foreign soil where they had served and died. Full military honors were accorded each burial.
