      (at around 17 mins) The narrator refers to 1960, when the Democratic party 'became a house divided' with 'John Kennedy occupying the White House.' Although Kennedy was elected in 1960, he did not 'occupy' the White House until after his swearing in ceremony on January 20, 1961.
    • Quotes
      • L.C. Dorsey: The straw boss, the agent, the guy who was hired to run the operation, like a business manager, was opposed to us going to school when there was work to be done. And he had a rule. He would go around and say that these kids are too big to be in school, any way, and they need to be in the field. And my father so so adamant about going to school until - he would walk us to the bus stop with this gun every morning.
