University of North Carolina. Parents were my parents walther b gaither and fanny little gaither. Uh, great falls was my fathers home. My mother, fannie mae, was originally from anderson, South Carolina and my mom and dad met while they were students at friendship. College in rock hill, South Carolina. After they both graduated from friendship they moved permanently to great falls. Initially they were both schoolteachers. You could be a schoolteacher at that time with just a Junior College education. My dad did not stay in teaching because he discovered that what was listed on his contract as is per month payment for teaching was not the same as he this was thatand a time when the boards of education were all composed of white men. And so at the end of the year, my father approached the person who signed his voucher for, uh, payment and said, i noticed that there is a discrepancy here.

Professor farber now teaches at the university of kansas. Offersan history tv students a seat in the classroom. This fall semester marks the 10th anniversary of its debut. Prof. Farber so weve been talking these last few weeks out loud about a few core issues that have in many ways given thematic intensity to the 1960s era. Weve been trying to think about the meaning and reality of equality in the United States in the 1960s era. Weve been pondering what Democratic Practice could and should look like in the United States, and then very pertinent to what well do today, what role the United States should play internationally. What role should the United States play in a world that was fast changing in the 1960s . So weve gotten to the point in this class where weve reached a point where president johnson has decided by early 1965 to begin a forthright military intervention by the United States in vietnam. And the reasons have been fairly compellingly laid out by johnson between 1964 and 1

And the reasons have been fairly compellingly laid out by johnson between 1964 and 1965. With the gulf of tonkin resolution in 1964, the president made his case that there was aggression coming from North Vietnam pointed at the south, and pointed at the United States as well in the attack on u. S. Ships in International Waters on that gulf of tonkin. And remember it is really important to understand when this resolution was brought before congress, every Single Member of the house of representatives, republican
Point where president johnson has decided by early 1965 to begin a forthright military intervention by the United States in vietnam. And the reasons have been fairly compellingly laid out by johnson between 1964 and 1965. With the gulf of tonkin resolution in 1964, the president made his case that there was aggression coming from North Vietnam pointed at the south, and pointed at the United States as well in the attack on u. S. Ships in International Waters on that gulf of tonkin. And remember it is really important to understand when this resolution was brought before congress, every Single Member of the house of representatives, republican or democrat, liberal or conservative, from the south or from the north, all of them voted to approve this resolution in the house of representatives. In the senate, only two senators voted against the gulf of tonkin resolution. And they had very different reasons. Is kind of one was a liberal republican.
