Truman urges Southern voters to vote with open eyes in Raleigh
President Truman visits Raleigh North Carolina to urge voters in the solid south to resist passion and prejudice in November ballots. He challenges the States Rights ticket led by Governor Strom Thurmond while sidestepping direct mention of civil rights plans. He speaks at the Jackson Polk and Johnson memorial dedication and plans another talk at the state fair before returning to Washington. The reception in Raleigh and Miami appears warm as he continues a two day Dixie swing following a Texas stop last month.
