Minneapolis Mayor Hubert Humphrey returns to Minneapolis after delivering his now-famous civil rights speech to the 1948 Democratic national convention in Philadelphia. The speech called for a strong civil rights platform plank and caused the Southern "Dixiecrats" to walk out of the convention. Humphrey later moved on to claim a seat in the Senate and in 1964 was elected vice president to President Lyndon Johnson. He was defeated in a 1968 bid for the presidency by Richard Nixon.
