Southern electors plot over civil rights clash at convention
A leaked report outlines how 13 states would refuse to cast electoral votes for any candidate backing civil rights legislation urged by Truman. It proposes delaying Georgia and other Southern electors’ selection until after the Democratic National Convention, then caucusing to act in concert if needed. The plan aims to pressure the convention and Truman, with governors urging in a conference report to repudiate current civil rights leadership and back candidates opposing civil rights instead.
