Harriman Wins DC Primary Big Across Civil Rights Issue
Washington dispatch notes Harriman carried the District of Columbia Democratic primary by four to one over Estes Kefauver with strong African American and government clerks support. A key pastor mobilized nearly 500 voters, and in the mostly Black U Street area Harriman led 1 158 to 80. Labor backed Kefauver, suggesting a split with union leaders. The result bolsters Truman’s civil rights position and signals a challenge to southern and border state Democrats on a civil rights platform.
