The Searchers captions transcript

The Searchers

“For almost 100 years,” this 1960s promotional film for Texas Christian University states, “this university has been growing—in buildings, scholarships, modern equipment, and, more important, in its commitment to help those who come here in search of understanding.” To explain how the university supports “the searchers,” the film sits down with three current students who share the many reasons why they find TCU great, from seminar-style classes to extracurricular activities to a sense of community.

Jim Wright Campaign Rally in Fort Worth captions transcript

Jim Wright Campaign Rally in Fort Worth

Following the 1960 presidential election, a special election was held to fill the United States Senate seat vacated by then Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson. This live telecast from March 1961 captures a rally for candidate Jim Wright at the Will Rogers Memorial Center in Fort Worth. (Wright was then serving in the United States House of Representatives from Texas’ 12th congressional district.) The election drew a field of 71 contenders, with Republican John G. Tower narrowly defeating interim appointee and Democrat William Blakely in a runoff election. (As a result, Tower became the first Republican senator from Texas since Reconstruction.) Wright finished in third place.
