The story: When Richard Nixon ran for President of the United States in 1960, he was beaten out by John F. Kennedy.
In 1968, Richard Nixon ran, once again for the presidency, and this time around won.
It was a time of battles between race, war, and peace.
Nixon's intention was to identify with Middle America, and he felt that singer/songwriter Johnny Cash was literally as much Middle America as humanly possible.
He believed that he understood Cash's symbolic importance, and, relating to him, believed Cash could relate to him as well.
When Cash spoke publicly on his TV show one evening that he supported the president, it spoke volumes to the world.
Even more so to Nixon, who decided to invite Cash and his whole family to the White House.
On April 11 , 1970, President Nixon helped to organize the Cash concert at the White House that night, titled 'An Evening at the White House with Johnny Cash'.
It was the very same night that the Apollo 13 mission became a successful failure.
All that happened that night was completely legendary and changed America once again.
