Mississippi compromise at convention angers some factions
At the Democratic National Convention a late compromise allowed two Freedom Party delegates Henry and Rev Edwin King to be seated with voting status while regular Mississippi delegates could be seated after a loyalty pledge. Mondale praised the move as advancing civil rights, and Humphrey framed it as recognizing voting rights abuses. McCarthy questioned preconvention loyalty pledges for delegates.
