Mayor Humphrey of Minneapolis

In June 1945, 34-year-old Hubert Humphrey was elected Mayor of Minneapolis, where he confronted a corrupt city government and courageously changed life for Jews and Black Americans. Three years later he walked on to the national stage and delivered an historic speech that ignited a firestorm of change within a segregationist Democratic Party and sparked the coming civil rights movement.
