LBJ was president.
On my date of birth, Solicitor General Thurgood Marshall was nominated as the first African American justice of the United States Supreme Court.
The first political thing i remember is right after Jimmy Carter was elected president, my father took my brother & me to Plains, Ga. We "toured" the town, took pictures of each other on the steps of Carter's church, saw his brother Billy at the gas station where we stopped to buy roasted peanuts and "Billy Beer".
