On August 9, 1974, Richard Nixon resigned in the face of Watergate investigations and impeachment hearings, and Gerald R. Ford became the 38th President of the United States. Ford's hand-picked official photographer was 27-year-old Pulitzer Prize-winner David Hume Kennerly, who was granted unheard-of access to the first family. Correspondent Jim Axelrod talks with Kennerly about his remarkable time in the Ford White House; and with Ford's son, Steven, who remembers his father's close relationship with the photographer.

That was fabulous!!!! I could watch for an hour or two longer!!! I was 18 in 1975. Too young to appreciate or comprehend the the gift President and Mrs. Ford gave to our country just by being in the White House and in the press, now it’s 63, I am truly grateful.

The last really great thing that Richard Nixon did while in office was appoint Gerald Ford as his vice president. Ford was just the person we needed in office after Nixon resigned. It’s too bad his image got tarnished by the Nixon pardon which took place exactly 30 days after Nixon resigned. Of course that was part of the deal.

@arcanondrum6543 3 года назад

"Part of the deal"?? Ya think?! Oh it's all so clear now. "THANK" you Ford, for your role at the Warren Commission. "THANK" you Ford for not letting this country dig further for the truth. NOW, they'll never break our laws again!

@lisarice4402 3 года назад

Being born in 1970, I do remember what angst Nixon put the country through. My relatives were up in arms with Nixon - the Fords were a whole different family and treated the presidency and all of the things that came along with that as respectful as they possibly could. I noticed members of my family relaxing, finally, because they understood that The Fords were the nation’s healers in a sense.

@lisarice4402 3 года назад

That is what the Bidens will have to be if they are elected, and I hope and pray they are. Not only does the nation need healing, but the world does too.

@amillioromine6314 3 года назад

As someone who wasn’t alive during this era, I really enjoy learning about Nixon, Ford, Reagan, LBJ, etc... even though their views may be different from mine in most cases. Personally the picture of Nixon holding up the peace signs while smiling is my favorite presidential picture, no matter how ironic it may be.
