They were kicked out at the '64 Dem convention.


You know Harry, they write this **** down. I was also alive in 64.

There were 50 or 60 deep south delegates who refused to sign the
platform. Two black delegates of over 60 who said they should have won
if they had their voter rights honored were seated as at large
delegates and that ****ed off more southerners but nobody was kicked
out.
