<<At the 1948 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia - where the young mayor of Minneapolis, named Hubert H. Humphrey, led a fight against the Southern segregationists known as Dixiecrats - scores of African Americans - led by Randolph - picketed the convention hall. Less than a month later, Truman signed the executive order>> I was living in Minneapolis at that time and remember Humphrey's fight very well. I listened to the entire convention on the radio and was part of a group which met Humphrey at the train station when he returned. My father was the ward chairman for the DFL in South Minneapolis and I attended the precinct caucus with him.
