It\\u2019s July 13th. Only July 14th, 1948, at the Democratic National Convention, a young Hubert Humphrey took the stage and implored his party to embrace the cause of civil rights.

\\n\\n

Jody, Niki, and Kellie are joined by Samuel G Freedman of Columbia University to discuss why Humphrey\\u2019s speech sent such a shockwave through the party \\u2014 and ultimately convinced it to adopt a pro-civil rights plank heading into that election.

\\n\\n

Freedman\\u2019s new book about Humphrey is called Into The Bright Sunshine.
