Minor typo correction I noticed I forgot to correct after posting—I meant to flip these two sentences around (Johnson announced his resignation on March 31, a few days before the King assassination): “Racial violence soon ensued around the country following the assassination of Martin Luther King that April. Johnson then announced he would not seek reelection, so he did not appear at the Democratic National Convention.”
Johnson did not announce his resignation. He announced he would not seek or accept the nomination of his party for reelection.
Fedora, you have contributed a huge good in the publishing of your terrific piece on der Hildebeast. I will pass it along to my friends.
The bottom line: Der Hildebeast deserves her nickname. She is a radical Communist.
Well written! Applause!
Thank you for the ping, IT. Fedora pinpointed so clearly what was happening at a very impressionable time of my life that I now have shivers up my back. I was a teenager during the Watts riots. I do remember things such as “ruling by chaos” during those times in very conservative Orange County, California. Scared me to death then. Scares me even worse now.
