The late Ralph Yarborough (1903-96) served as a U.S. senator from Texas from 1957 to 1971. As leader of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, he was politically at odds with both Vice President Johnson and Governor Connally by 1963. However, he was a key part of President Kennedy's Texas trip as the president tried to mend political fences among Texas Democrats and shore up support for his re-election campaign in 1964. Despite initially complaining that he did not wish to ride in the Dallas motorcade alongside Vice President Johnson, Yarborough ultimately sat next to Lady Bird Johnson in the backseat of the vice presidential car in the parade, located directly behind President Kennedy's Secret Service follow-up car -- Stephen Fagin, Curator
