Richard Nixon Campaign Sash, 1968
01
Artifact Overview
Richard M. Nixon was a three-time Republican Party presidential nominee. In 1960, he narrowly lost to John F. Kennedy--and it appeared his political career was over. In 1968, however, as TV news depicted grim images of war and violence, this slogan assured voters that they could turn to Nixon as a capable and trustworthy leader. Nixon won the election.
