Curatorial Note:

At the time of this oral history, the Triplett family donated to the Museum a collection of documents and correspondence from the late Elizabeth Triplett regarding her involvement in the 1960 Kennedy campaign and the 1961 Kennedy-Johnson inauguration. These materials offer an excellent illustration of women's involvement in politics in the early 1960s. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
