I was born for this Super Bowl, although still a baby and so obviously too young to remember any of it. So here are some of the major events that took place in 1977, the year this Super Bowl was played. The world's population was 4.23 billion people. In apartheid South Africa, black activist Steven Biko is killed under mysterious circumstances in police custody. In the United States shortly after this Super Bowl is played, Jimmy Carter takes the oath of office to become the 39th President of the United States. In China, Deng Xiaoping is restored to power, while the Gang of Four is expelled from the Communist Party. A Nuclear Nonproliferation Act is signed by fifteen countries, including both the United States and the Soviet Union.
