1924 Democratic National Convention opens in New York City

The Democratic National Convention convened in New York on June 24, beginning a fractious and prolonged nomination fight that would last into July.

The convention exposed deep party divisions (over issues including the Ku Klux Klan and urban–rural splits) and set the stage for the Democratic nominee who would oppose Coolidge in the 1924 presidential election.
