The 1968 Democratic National Convention was held August 26–29 at the International Amphitheatre in Chicago, Illinois, United States. Earlier that year incumbent President Lyndon B. Johnson had announced he would not seek reelection, thus making the purpose of the convention to select a new presidential nominee for the Democratic Party. The keynote speaker was Senator Daniel Inouye of Hawaii. Vice President Hubert Humphrey and Senator Edmund Muskie of Maine were nominated for president and vice president, respectively.

  • Die Democratic National Convention 1968 fand vom 26. bis 29. August im International Amphitheatre in Chicago, Illinois, statt. Da Präsident Lyndon B. Johnson angekündigt hatte, keine Wiederwahl anzustreben, bestand der Zweck des Konvents darin, einen neuen Kandidaten der Demokratischen Partei für das Amt des Präsidenten der Vereinigten Staaten zu bestimmen. Die Themen des Kongresses waren unter anderem die fortgesetzte militärische Beteiligung der USA am Vietnamkrieg und die Wahlrechtsreform. Der Kongress stellte einen politischen Wendepunkt dar, da bisher kaum vertretene Gruppen wie Jugendliche und Minderheiten stärker in die Politik und das Wahlrecht einbezogen wurden. (de)
