Agnew's election as Governor of Maryland in 1966 came with the support of many black voters, who weren't enthused with the white semi-segregationist Democrat establishment in the state.

Racist Dems....? Nahhhhhh.....couldn't be....

I always liked Agnew and was sorry he got into trouble. Imagine how great a president he would have made with his willingness to take on the press and his very politically incorrect attitude. If he had succeeded Nixon perhaps we would have been spared the Carter presidency. Or if Watergate had not happened perhaps Agnew would have been elected in 1976. It could have been a very interesting presidency.

My family moved to Annapolis in 1965. The Klan openly march around the Maryland State Capitol and the Gas Station down on the city dock had separate drinking fountains.
