About
Join award-winning author Samuel G. Freedman and acclaimed filmmaker Mick Caouette for a program about Hubert Humphrey’s formative years as Minneapolis mayor, a tenure which culminated with his landmark speech on civil rights at the 1948 Democratic National Convention. 75 years later, Caouette and Freedman offer new insights on the critical role Humphrey—and his years as mayor—played in the fight for civil rights.
The program includes the premiere of Caouette’s new film, Mayor Humphrey of Minneapolis: 1945-48, and a talk by Freedman about his new book Into the Bright Sunshine: Young Hubert Humphrey and the Fight for Civil Rights.
