Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Some southern whites were infuriated, and actually walked out of the presidential convention when blacks spoke. This demonstrates a clear resistance and hostility towards black participation in the Democratic Party. While there may have been some white acceptance of black presence, this was not the predominant reaction. There is no evidence that whites organized violent action in the convention hall to get rid of blacks, and while blacks may have initially been excluded from the party, the question specifically refers to their increased presence.
