He aims to seat the regular delegation at the 1972 Democratic National Convention and claims strong black turnout supported his win. He downplays isolationist views and predicts no fallouts with Wallace or Nixon’s camp.

Federal court rules Hair can play at Charlotte venue
A federal judge ruled the Charlotte Auditorium-Coliseum Authority may not bar the rock musical Hair over the board's personal opinions. The decision allows shows November 18 to 21 at Ovens Auditorium, despite a 3-2 vote to ban. The ruling cites constitutional protections for free speech and equal protection of the law. In Tennessee, a separate judge refused to force Chattanooga Memorial Auditorium to reserve the Tivoli Theater for Hair, making Nov 24–28 unlikely.
