The story goes that when CBS director Don Hewitt (who went on to create "60 Minutes") was looking for instant graphics ideas to use during a political convention telecast, he went to a diner for breakfast one morning, saw its menu board and talked the manager into selling him that board. The parts at 4:40 and 8:34 must have been the results of that sale.

Edna Kelly's speech is interesting in that back then Democrats ran to the right of Eisenhower on foreign policy. Kennedy did the same in 1960.

Why DO Think That They're Will Be Dearh Threats Anywhere? Why So Dark?

The death threats were made behind the scenes. The Democratic National Committee was badly divided over the proposed civil rights platform. Averill Harriman was supported by the Southern delegations, as he was viewed as an acceptable compromise candidate, as he had served in the Roosevelt and Truman Administrations. The Northern delegations wanted a more vigorous social and civil rights platform. And they believed that Adlai Stevenson would work to get those party platforms passed into law as President. When the “minority report” on the civil rights platform was either rejected or not allowed to be put up for a floor vote, Senator Strom Thurmond, then a Democrat, led a walkout of the Southern Delegation of the Democratic Party at the 1956 Democratic National Convention. This led to the re-election of President Dwight D. Eisenhower in the 1956 Presidential Election.
