Corrected by reconstruction. This was the constitution that was written in 1875, and interestingly, texas still operates under this constitution today, even though it has had hundreds of amendments to make changes to it. We can flip to the signature page of the document, which contains all of the original signatures from 1876. As you can imagine, these are many of the most prominent men of their day. While this document addressed some issues of inequality, of course, these problems did not go away with equality, and franchise men, most notably even though men of african dissent could theoretically vote, women were not allowed to vote until well into the 20th century. This is a memorial to the Texas Legislature in 1884 by the undersigned committee of colored men. I guess that is kind of a predecessor of the black caucus. They are asking for redress on several issues that pertain to people of african dissent descen living in texas at the time. Tthis small leaflet entitled handicapped was published by the Texas Equal Suffrage Association in about 1919 in advance of the upcoming election by texas male voters about whether women would be given the vote. As we know, eventually the 19th amendment was ratified, giving all women in the United States the right to vote. You can see this document and many more that we have previewed by visiting the Texas State Library and archives commission. Several of these items documents, and artifacts will be featured in our upcoming exhibit texans struggle for freedom and equality, which will launch in midjanuary.

Charles schultz, one of my favorite parts of the exhibit. We were lucky enough to get two of his original sunday comics. And a pair of skates that illustrates it was a lifelong amateur hockey fan. That is something we try to do in the exhibit, to find one object or one document that speaks to the accomplishments of each person. The importance of an exhibit like 60 from the 60s is to show how americans 50 years ago completed work that is still relevant in the 21st century. For example, in the early 60s, we launched the First Communications satellite, which was the precursor to the electronic age we are experiencing now. Satellite communications, cell phone reception, Worldwide Television reception. One of the people we are highlighting is the inventor of the worlds first videogame, which began the videogame revolution we have now. His prototype, that was developed in the 1960s, eventually was produced by magnavox, that they turned into the magnavox odyssey, which became the first commercially purchased videogame. The magnavox odyssey was the precursor to pong and pacman and all of the video games that are on the market today. One of the many authors we have in the exhibit is a First Edition copy of Rachel Carsons silent spring that was published in the early 60s. This book brought National Attention to the plight and problems caused by the pesticide ddt, which in turn kicked off the modern environmental movement, which mrs. Johnson during her time in the white house and afterward, championed this movement when she promoted programs like highway beautification. She started the Lady Bird Johnson center here in austin and other environmentaltype programs. The beatles . Oh, yeah i will tell you something i think you will understand when i say that something i wanna hold your hand . Music was a very large part of the 1960s.

Some of the most influential songs of the 1960s and the lbj library then posted those songs on her website and allow the public to vote on which were the most popular songs. Bob dylan, blowing in the wind that occupies the top spot. . The answer is blowing in the wind .
