April 21, 1961: San Jacinto Day with Dan Rather and the time capsule

Before Dan Rather was a national news anchor, he was a reporter for KHOU 11. This video is from April 21, 1961 when a time capsule was buried in Houston.

This happened in 1960, not 1961, but otherwise, what a fantastic glimpse into San Jacinto Day Celebrations of the past.

I remember when Dan lost his job because he told the truth.
