Finding Footage

For my trailer I wanted to use a mixture of stock footage and my own footage so to do this I needed to find a place to get this stock footage. I thought I could use youtube unto a point to get 1960's footage the big problem here is that it would most likely be low quality so I need to be careful although in some places this bad quality footage might work but I don't want it to be difficult to see and make out.  

I also found a number of websites that give out free stock footage which was in high quality websites such as www.videvo.net where I got some of my footage from although limited there in content what they do have is really good quality.  There were a few other websites that I used as well which were a similar situation. I tried too find footage of the time using the cold war, civil right movement and the vietnam war as my first searches. Looking for possible footage that would give a feel for the time the speech was given and also referencing the backdrops of the speech.  

I also looked for some of the more abstract ideas that I wanted to use in my trailer for example the time lapse at the beginning and the American flag at half mast and the dominoes falling footage. All of which were found on free stock video sites which meant they were high quality which is good for the trailer.
