Kenneth on "Kenneth P. Landon Day" in Columbus, Georgia

Carter, Jimmy, 1924- Rusk, Dean, 1909-1994

Kenneth describes "Kenneth P. Landon Day" which was held in Columbus, Georgia in his honor. It was at this time that he had a conversation with Carter for quite some time, as he was thinking of trying to become the President of the United States. The ceremonies included Kenneth on a television program along with a radio program. He gave a brief lecture, and he recalls stealing the show from Dean Rusk who was also to lecture on that night.
