Billy Graham (1918-2018)
The Reverend Billy Graham in 1966. Born in Charlotte, North Carolina, Graham was a Southern Baptist pastor and prominent figure in American politics. While Graham's roots were religious, his roots were not poltical. Graham grew up on a dairy farm. Graham attended college in Illinois to further his career in the church. It is unclear to how Graham became connected with some of the presidents, but he communicated with presidents from Truman to Trump. Graham gave religious, political, and personal advice to the presidents. He was closest to President Nixon.The two were friends since the forties and Graham publically promoted Nixon during the 1968 election.

Public Domain
Public Domain is a copyright term that is often used when talking about copyright for creative works. Under U.S. copyright law, individual items that are in the public domain are items that are no longer protected by copyright law. This means that you do not need to request permission to re-use, re-publish or even change a copy of the item. Items enter the public domain under U.S. copyright law for a number of reasons: the original copyright may have expired; the item was created by the U.S. Federal Government or other governmental entity that views the things it creates as in the public domain; the work was never protected by copyright for some other reason related to how it was produced (for example, it was a speech that wasn't written down or recorded); or the work doesn't have enough originality to make it eligible for copyright protection.
