Скачать или смотреть Hubert Humphrey Named as LBJ's Running Mate | Historic 1964 Democratic Convention Footage

This rare Universal Newsreel captures a pivotal moment in American political history - President Lyndon B. Johnson's unprecedented personal nomination of Senator Hubert H. Humphrey as his running mate at the 1964 Democratic National Convention in Atlantic City.
Watch as Johnson shatters precedent by appearing in person at the convention to request Humphrey's nomination. The footage shows Johnson's dramatic announcement, revealing he made over 50 phone calls that morning before selecting the Minnesota Senator as the man he believed "was the best plan to be president in case anything happened."
The newsreel also features Johnson's powerful acceptance speech on his 56th birthday, where he asks the American people for "a mandate to begin" and shares his vision of a united America "undivided by creed or color and untorn by suspicion or strike."
This historic footage documents a crucial moment in Johnson's presidency, just nine months after Kennedy's assassination catapulted him into office, as he positions himself to potentially become the first southern president elected since Zachary Taylor in 1848.
