Accessible World News Wire March 30, 2009 Where were you that fateful night exactly 41 years ago when Lyndon B. Johnson changed America? If you were Vice President Hubert Humphrey, you were in Mexico City attending an inter-American conference on behalf of your boss President Lyndon B. Johnson. If your name was Richard M. Nixon you were on a plane between Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and New York City after a weekend of campaigning. If you were Senator Eugene McCarthy, you were in Milwaukee hoping to improve on your New Hampshire showing against LBJ by actually defeating him this time in the Wisconsin primary, which would be held that Tuesday. If you were Senator Robert F. Kennedy of New York, you were assessing your chances in the upcoming primaries in Indiana, Nebraska, Oregon, and California after having announced your presidential candidacy on March 16th. If you were Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., you were spending the last Sunday night of your life giving a most eloquent sermon at the Washington National Cathedral in D.C.
