Marvin Griffin campaign rally in Douglas, Ga. (September 1, 1962)
In 1962 Marvin Griffin attempted a political comeback by running for governor of Georgia (the office he left in 1959) against Carl Sanders. Sanders defeated Griffin in this race, in large part by playing up the corruption issue that had plagued Griffin's previous administration.
This election was the last of the great campaigns in which candidates held large rallies and barbecues. After the election Griffin said, Everybody that ate my barbecue I don't believe voted for me. The 16mm films in this collection were created during this 1962 gubernatorial campaign. Most of the films, roughly 30 minutes long each, show Griffin speaking in towns around Georgia.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think.
