1972 Democratic National Convention
Joe attended the 1972 Democratic National Convention, along with his friend and colleague from Tougaloo College, John Dittmer, as an alternate delegate from Mississippi. After finally making to the convention floor as a credentialed delegate just before sunrise on July 12, he witnessed the introduction of the first ever gay rights plank to be debated by a major political party. Joe voted for it, even as the resolution went down to overwhelming defeat.
