john f. kennedythe present at the time, you write about mountain luther -- martin luther king's views on john f. kennedy. less than positive. what did he think of the president's approach in the early days? prof. joseph: he did not think kennedy did enough. he did not think kennedy empathized deeply enough with black people as human beings. certainly kennedy is going to undergo evolution and i right about that. by june 11, 1953, kennedy makes what i think is the finest speech of his presidency. dr. king is critical of jack kennedy. kennedy had sought the king endorsement. king didn't endorse anybody in the 1960 election. dr. king is in jail for nine days in atlanta. john f. kennedy and bobby kennedy are instrumental in getting dr. king released. they used that to help them win more black support. that tips the election in their favor. king and kennedy are tied politically. john kennedy until the spring of 1963 is too cautious. he does not know what to do about civil rights and racial justice. he does

, president john f. kennedywhose priority up until then had been to pass a massive tax cut. that had been the top thing on his agenda. he was pushed to move on civil rights because, in part, of the slaying of medgar evers who was the field secretary for the naacp in mississippi, the hardest state to move in terms of allowing black people to vote, 6% of african-americans at the time were registered to vote because of terrorism, and he was killed by a member of the white citizens council who wanted to shut down any notion that black men and women would feel they had full citizenship and the right to vote let alone the ability to integrate restaurants, swimming pools, et cetera. medicigar evers' murder is not talked about as much, but the university of mississippi violently rejected integration, which moved john f. kennedy to send the civil rights act of 1963 to the congress. it was that act, that after kennedy himself was slain, that became the civil rights we all know, the civil rights act of '64. it was lyndon j
