  Interviews With Leroy Collins For "Great Floridians"
The program starts with Collins talking about his loss in the 1968 Senate race, and the relation of that loss to the civil rights issue. Moves on to footage of Collins in the woods with a group of children discussing Kipling's poem "If." The film then moves to the 1960 Democratic Convention. Collins is introduced by Frank Church. John Kennedy and his family are introduced, including his mother, three of his sisters and his two brothers. There are short clips of Eleanor Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, Ladybird Johnson, Hubert Humphrey, and Walter Cronkite. Collins gives the opening address, introduces Adlai Stevenson. Stevenson then introduces John F. Kennedy as the next president of the United States.
