|Title:||Convention challenge; [n.d.]|
From the Ellin (Joseph and Nancy) Freedom Summer Collection; Report on the convention challenge of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party (MFDP) delegation at the Democratic National Convention of 1964. Discusses the delegation's refusal to accept the compromise offered by the Credentials Committee on the basis that it did not recognize the MFDP as a legitimate political party. The gesture of the Credentials Committee was considered token by the delegation. The convention challenge was an effort by the MFDP to unseat the delegation of the regular Democratic Party from Mississippi on the basis that it was racist in nature and did not represent all Mississippians.
