NIXON FOUNDATION LAUNCHES NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH GOOGLE ARTS & CULTURE

As the centerpiece of an exciting new partnership, Google Arts & Culture published the Foundation's originally-curated online exhibit about the relationship and friendship between Richard Nixon and Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. In August, the Nixon-King online exhibit was presented by Google at the National Urban League annual conference in Columbus, Ohio in an onsite Pop-Up Lab featuring interactive demos of their

Black History & Culture project, an online collection of stories from over 65 cultural institutions across the U.S.—including the Richard Nixon Foundation.

Google's commitment to host and promote Nixon Foundation online exhibits promises to expand the Foundation's online reach into the millions.

The online exhibit can be accessed at artsandculture.google.com.

HISTORIC PANDA CYLINDER ADDED TO CHINA GALLERY A new item on loan from Julie Nixon Eisenhower

D

uring the Nixons’ trip to China in 1972, their Chinese hosts placed Panda Cigarettes at every place setting at formal dinners and banquets throughout their visit. First Lady Pat Nixon also visited the pandas at the Beijing Zoo on February 22, 1972.

This cigarette cylinder (at right) was at Pat Nixon’s table setting at one of the state banquets.

Seated next to Premier Zhou Enlai, Mrs. Nixon pointed to the pandas on this cylinder and said to him,“Aren’t they cute? I love them.” The Premier replied,“I’ll give you some.” Mrs. Nixon responded,“Cigarettes?” “No,’ he answered,“pandas.”

Out of this exchange, the United States received its first-ever pair of giant pandas, which Mrs. Nixon welcomed at the Smithsonian National Zoo on April 16, 1972.
