Description

Allan Shivers and Senator Lyndon B. Johnson debate in the National Democratic Convention Delegation. Texas Democrats have been divided since Shivers led the G.O.P. campaign for Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1952. Johnson attempts to unite the Democratic Party of Texas, but says that he won't let himself be used as a rallying point for Southern conservatives fighting the Supreme Court desegregation opinion.
This demonstrates the split among the Democrats in Texas after the 1952 presidential election, and the Supreme Court desegregation decision.
