 Hubert Humphrey was the white senator who was most credited in 1964 for drumming up the votes for the Civil Rights Act. He was the white Democrat who was most willing to stand up to the racist Southern Dixiecrats. And there's a sense that that's what you do if you are descended from a town like this. In particular, if you internalize the story of this town, not just as a white person, but as a white boy, right? That must be how change happens.
