Preparation for Barbecue at LBJ’s Ranch (1964)

Soon after the 1964 Democratic National Convention nominated incumbent Lyndon Baines Johnson for the presidency after his completion of John Kennedy’s term, Johnson held a joint birthday celebration and campaign initiation at his ranch near Stonewall. This clip captures the preparation for the Gillespie County Democratic Party-sponsored Bar-B-Q at the Stonewall Rodeo Arena, as well as great clips of Johnson and his running mate Hubert Humphrey meeting and greeting supporters.
