TRUE BELIEVER: Hubert Humphrey's Quest for a More Just America
As a young politician, Humphrey defied segregationists and forced the Democratic Party to commit itself to civil rights. As a senator, he made good on that commitment by helping pass the Civil Rights Act. But as L.B.J.'s vice president, his support for the war in Vietnam made him a target for both Right and Left, but he never gave up.
