Description
In this all-american underdog story, dalip singh saund? A judge and naturalized citizen? Campaigned against celebrated aviator and wwii leader jackie cochran odlum to represent california?s 29TH district. Their political competition prompted local debate and nationwide conversations about his ethnicity and her gender. Cochran had unlimited resources and presidential support. Senator john f. Kennedy saw saund as a vehicle to promote democracy abroad. Ultimately, cochran?s own party conspired against her and saund?s grassroots voter registration drive led to a narrow and unexpected 3,300-vote victory. Saund served three terms as the first-ever asian, indian, and sikh american member of the U.S. Congress. Based on original research of primary sources, this surprisingly overlooked story from america?s past speaks to the limits and possibilities of democracy today.]
