These years saw some firsts: Shirley Chisholm, the first African American congresswoman, announced her candidacy for president of the United States; Bob Douglas was the first African American elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame; and Satchel Paige was voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. These were the disco years. We danced to Aretha Franklin's "Rock Steady", Kool and the Gang's "Love the Life you Live",and Denise Lasalle's "Trapped by a Thing Call Love". In 1971, the Nasdaq debuted and in 1972, the Dow closes above 1,000 for the first time. Nike debuted it "Swoosh" trademark and FedEx started up. If I had only known then what I know now, I could afford someone else to keep this site updated. In 1971, a gallon of gas was 40 cents, a first-class stamp 8 cents, and a movie ticket average $1.50. Those were the good old days!
