On May 7, 1964, President Lyndon Johnson, accompanied by Governor Terry Sanford, visited the home of tenant farmer William David Marlow near Rocky Mount to promote the President’s “War on Poverty” initiative.The 15-minute visit was essentially a photo opportunity to launch Johnson’s tour of Appalachia.
