Chuck Connors, Civil Rights Protest, and Sheppard AFB Activities (1965-6) - The Harold Ferguson Collection

This collection of news footage—captured in and around Wichita County, Texas, in 1965 and 1966—features activities at Sheppard Air Force Base along with other serious and light newsworthy events. Highlights include an interview with actor Chuck Connors, who talks about the appeal of the Western genre; dynamic sound footage of a civil rights protest in Lawton, Oklahoma; a silent color reenactment at Judge Roy Bean’s saloon in Langtry, Texas; and playfully lit images of a B-27 fighter jet in Altus, Oklahoma.
