Humphrey said whether he would ask Senator Edward Kennedy to join as running mate depends on Kennedy's wishes, as speculation grows during the National Governors Conference in Cincinnati. Kennedy has not commented, while Mankiewicz said a Hyannisport meeting was not political. Labor delays threaten party conventions and a plan to avoid Wallace if no electoral majority gains ground.

Garvey and the Black Nationalist Era in America
Don Oakley and John Lone Garvey spotlight Marcus Garvey as the original black nationalist who urged a Back to Africa movement and styled himself Provisional President of Africa. His followers followed Negroism more than emigration, while conservatives opposed him and he was convicted of mail fraud and deported in 1927. The piece notes the enduring black renaissance into the mid-20th century and links the 1920s stock market crash to the hardship for Black workers.
