Nixon’s 1968 Campaign Attempting to appeal to a broad spectrum of voters, this poster includes the liberal Republican Nelson Rockefeller and the conservative Barry Goldwater. While Nixon’s slogan “Champion of Forgotten America” spoke to whites alienated by Great Society programs for minorities and the poor, the poster’s inclusion of black Republican senator Edward Brooke and basketball player Wilt Chamberlain gave a nod to African Americans. © David J. & Janice L.
