Welcome to my dream-come-true. Since 1967 I have been a huge fan of former Vice-President Hubert Humphrey. Since 1994 I've looked often for a comprehensive place where fans of HHH as well as younger readers can read up on this great leader. From July 10, 1948, Humphrey was on a National Political stage. He made one of the greatest Civil Rights speeches of all-time at the Democratic Convention. His comments that day in Philly took a lot of courage at a time when it wasn't always popular. As time went along Humphrey was actively involved in making life better for all Americans. I was lucky enough to speak with the Senator in June, 1972 on a phone-in show on WMCA-NY. I told him I was going to vote for him in the New Jersey Primary. He seemed to imply that he didn't want to be on the ballot there. I never understood his answer. Also, I run a discussion forum about HHH:

Humphrey Forum In the future, I hope to include a complete reading list. You can find many books-and-collectables on eBay as well as Amazon. If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions, please write
