José Tomás Canales
- ... that Tejano lawmaker José Tomás Canales left politics in 1920 to become a Mexican-American civil rights activist? Source (here): "As a result of the reaction by state legislators against Canales's challenge to the rangers, the Tejano legislator declined to seek reelection in 1920."
- ALT1:... that Tejano lawmaker José Tomás Canales feared he would be assassinated during his 1919 investigation into the Texas Rangers? Source (here): "Canales’ family feared that he would be assassinated; he walked to the hearings surrounded by friends, including Representative Sam Johnson, father of future President Lyndon Baines Johnson. Years later, Canales wrote that the investigation “nearly cost my life.”"
