Fred Harris emerges as a distinctive 1976 Democratic hopeful linking blacks and poor whites in a broad populist coalition. He frames a challenge to privilege and urges diffuse economic power, while facing questions about appeal to blue collar voters and party unity amid McGovern-era caution. Ladonna Harris, his Comanche wife, campaigns alongside him as a noted activist partner.
