Today is the inauguration. Pretty exciting. 40 years ago MLK Jr was assassinated for stirring up trouble, 20 years ago Jesse Jackson ran a good campaign. I organized Labor for Jackson in Santa Cruz in 1988. Still have a couple T-shirts for that campaign. The Local 23 bus drivers put together a front line. We were all checked by the Secret Service and got clearance and we stood in front of the Santa Cruz Civic Center. Didn't get to hear the speech but we felt important waiting to jump in front of a bullet.
Who else was in that line? Ron White, Wally Parham, who else?
