The convention took place less than a year after Kennedy's Assassination . In honor of Kennedy, Robert Kennedy was to introduce a short film in his late brother's memory. Kennedy received 22 minutes of uninterrupted applause, causing him to break into tears before delivering his speech. Many credit the fact that LBJ had a very close friendship with the Governor Of New Jersey at that time, Richard J. Hughes , as one reason Atlantic City hosted the Democratic convention in 1964.
