One vehicle’s banner advertises Nixon’s talk on civil rights at the Trianon Ballroom on Thursday, October 25. The motorcade appears to arrive at the Imperial Credit Corporation’s entrance on Dearborn St. The remainder of the film shows Nixon as he gives a speech at a luncheon for the Covenant club at 10 North Dearborn St. He stresses the need to look past partisan politics and asserts there is no man more revered than the current president of the United States.
