That $10,000 annual salary wasn’t exactly chump change in the early 1960’s either. While I don’t know what that would be in today’s dollars, it would certainly be a tidy sum.
according to here (http://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl?cost1=10000&year1=1964&year2=2013)it would be $75,147.42. Is that right?
I got $6,200 a year for teaching 7th & 8th grade jr high social studies back then
According to an online CPI calculator I discovered, $10,000 in 1964 is equivalent to $75,000 today. He was earning a very good salary for that job.
It would be $78,740 in 2013 dollars.
I read that whole article and still don’t know what it is that he learned???
About $75000.00. Not a small sum in 1964.

Ah yes. Little Rock, home of the Sacred Altars of liberalism. The Central High School, and the Woolworth lunch counter. Now the Clinton Trailer house museum.
I was there about the time the Urban Renewal began in 1965, and lived there just under three years, about the time Justus Jim Johnson was running for Governor.
college Station was the real poverty zone, and some of the other shotgun shack areas.
Haven’t been back since as I’m now closer to Tulsa.
