Luz headed the government only two days in November 1955 and was deposed by the Minister of Defense Teixeira Lott over his fear that Luz may support a plot to prevent President-elect Juscelino Kubitschek from taking office.
Throughout his career he worked as a translator and taught literature and English as a second language in Mexico, Trinidad, Brazil, Greece and Thailand, including a stint as a private tutor to former Brazilian president Juscelino Kubitschek.
A new building was opened on November 21, 1958 by the Brazilian President, Juscelino Kubitschek de Oliveira, to produce the first Ford engine in South America.
Jan Nepomuk Kubíček (1801, Kingdom of Bohemia – 1880, Brazil) (in Portuguese: Kubitschek) was one of the great-grandfathers of the former Brazilian president, Juscelino Kubitschek.
He returned to Brazil in 1967, but was killed in a car crash in 1976, near the city of Resende in the state of Rio de Janeiro.

President Juscelino Kubitschek ordered the construction of Brasília, fulfilling an article of the country's constitution dating back to 1891 stating that the capital should be moved from Rio de Janeiro to a place close to the center of the country.
