Trip to Texas
Items displayed in this exhibit
Following the previous day’s visit to San Antonio, Houston and Fort Worth, Friday, November 22 was supposed to be an equally full day. After a breakfast speech in Fort Worth, the President was to address several groups at the Dallas Trade Mart in the afternoon. A gala event was scheduled in Austin that evening. The trip would culminate with a visit to the LBJ ranch near Johnson City.
