south since the 1840's. because of the race issue, primarily. because we were looked upon as the primary preservers of separate but equal, or racial segregation. and our top leaders in the congressgovernorships and so forth were all determined to preserve racial segregation. deep south that was very deep.he because lyndon johnson became president and because he passed the voting rights act and the civil rights act of 1964, it liberated me to overcome that stigma, potentially. and i saw that as an opening, a very small opening that i might fill. so i began to campaign when i left the governor's mansion. and i didn't have any money. and almost all of the democratic party leaders, i don't know of any exceptions, were for some of the nine or 10 candidates running against me. including lloyd benson from texas, as you remember. so i didn't have much of a chance. i campaigned by myself with just one assistant, jodi powell, who later became my press secretary. we never stayed in a hotel or motel. we couldn't afford it. none of the people that worked for me in the campaign were permitted to stay in a motel unless they paid their own way, and when we went into a town, we would try to find

we've had a lot of experience with the south kind of being the kind of veto point being the constituency in congress that presidents are worrying about playing a role in nominations. but now had someone from the deep south as the president to fairly unusual thing in the 20th and and even 19th centuries since the civil war. but it's a new south carter is part of this kind of cohort of new and more moderate to liberal southern governors. so we're actually seeing real changes in that region. well, and you do see the 1980s, this sort of idea and the democratic party similar to this move to the center of kind of trying to pivot toward the south, trying to win back the south and to make these appeals that are kind of in a moderate, modern mode as opposed the old southern democrats or. on the other hand, there's kind of old school, new deal, northern. so carter actually has a really profound effect. these shifts within within his own party and within the ideas that are floating around in the country. so this is the last one, the last piece of legacy i want to talk about in a lot of ways is sort of the deep

stop sending and then south pioneer thought painting kind of philosophy here from congress's stuffing. i saw him leave here with the the the toner, the corporate office. right now, not having sound, right. you know, and you know, i'm not can, i can embrace i. e for the items in the ninety's chairs. did you lose your temper? no, i don't know. he lost his temper cuz he stopped me 1st because everybody was trying to kind of going down and kind of goes on for a shop. then i sometimes it comes with it. so tell me what is the idea of being a friend kind of what, what do you see? oh. 6 well, thornton, perfect, still not much. not much of a brand new brand. well, do you see congress of france? well, you can use your cost. so why don't you not see the phone call? because i said to him as a friend until i saw the doctor. oh, are you ready to be a friend as an important person? i think some of them may not be protected him a lot, but once purposes does he protected? yeah. has he been a friend in the past? think protecting. yes. well maybe i am for something for you as it said, great then no, but

congresses wish list. but not everyone has followed this path. for those of you who don't know south dakota is the only state in america that never ordered a single business or church to close. we never instituted a shelter in place order. whenever mandated people wear masks. we never even define what an essential business is because i don't believe governors have the authority to tell you that your business is an essential. south dakota schools are no different than schools and where else in america but we approached the pandemic differently. from the earliest days of the pandemic our priority was the students, their well-being in their education. when it was time to go back to school in the fall we put our kids in the classroom. teachers, administrators, parents and the students themselves were of one mind, to make things work for our children. the best way to do that was in the classroom. in south dakota i provide all of the information that we had our people and then i trusted them to make the best decision for themselves, for the families and in turn their community. we never fo
