John F Kennedy was one of the most loved and remembered presidents in the history of the United States. He did many things to help the country and the American people during his ephemeral presidency. His accomplishments include creating the peace corps, bringing the economy out of a recession, helping the African-American civil rights movement, and passing the Equal Pay Act of 1963. These successes can be attributed to his ability to be witty, charismatic, and courageous. Almost everyone loved him, from the impecunious to the rich, and majorities to minorities. Through the actions of John F. Kennedy it is clear that it is better to be loved as a leader than feared because it allows one to be easier to talk to and collaborate in solving large problems as he did.

John "Jack" Fitzgerald Kennedy has been a part of the United State's history. Not only because he was one of their many presidents, but also because he made a change. He seemed pretty normal. Not too arrogant, not too shy, but I think he changed many people's opinion about things. He made the people, not only in the USA, but many other places a little bit happier when they watched television. He gave many people hope and peace and the days weren't actually peaceful. A lot of things had happened and many things were about to change. The Cold War was still going on, and they were building a wall across Germany, people were afraid, black people was soon going to get the rights they deserved as a human being and he gave them,

JFK saw that public displays of terror against minorities embarrassed the united states. Kennedy didn't want the United States to be looked down upon, so he decided to propose a bill to legislate. Whilst writing his proposal Kennedy realised that he would lose the support and respect of white southern senators which outnumber the support of northern senators. This caused the legislative process to be in its early stages when he was assassinated so he never got to finish the process out (crf-usa.org), meaning that JFK did a major part in setting the groundwork for the civil rights bill.

Even though President John F. Kennedy did not fully support the civil rights movement at first because of the fear of losing his voters, he still was the one who planted the seeds for the Civil Rights Act of 1964. After the riots in Birmingham he decided to support the movement to its fullest. He supported the March on Washington for jobs and Freedom and had plans to make a stronger Civil Rights Act to our conclusions. He never got to see the Civil Rights Act of 1964 because he got assassinated on November 22nd,

Yes he does he shows how it is not right for the country to be divided. That it is not right that people are judged by their skin color or race not by there personality or how they act.Those are some of the statements Martin Luther king Jr said that is why people think it was a good speech right after his death.Kennedy had the chance of getting killed that day by him going out there and talking to that enormous crowd of mixed racial people angry that the person who was showing what they thought and standing up for everyone and he was killed by a racist white man.So by him going out there it showed what kind of heart he has and how he wants to contribute to the cause to make it better for all races or beliefs.In the speech after martins death

Kennedy was assassinated,this horrible event was the beginning of a new era for a new president. Lyndon B. Johnson was the vise president for JFK, throughout the 1950’s he worked to obstruct the passage and enforcement of civil right laws. Lyndon B. Johnson reassured a grieving nation that “the ideas and the ideals which Kennedy so nobly represented must and will be translated into effective action.” That is exactly what Lyndon B. Johnson did, in his first term he accomplished many goals and displayed dedication to reunite America. On July 2, 1964 Johnson signed the Civil Right Movement, it prohibited discrimination in most places of public accommodation; outlawed discrimination in employment on the basis of race, color,religion, sex or national origin. The Civil Right Movement was the most significant civil rights legislation since Reconstruction, it was the beginning of the colored people’s success. This legislation not only made America an equal field for everyone, but Johnson started to earn the support and love from the Americans, specifically the African Americans. Lyndon B. Johnson was reelection in 1964, capturing 61% of the popular vote and 94% casted ballots for Johnson. In August 1965, Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law, aimed to overcome legal barriers at the state and local levels that prevented African Americans from exercising their right to vote as guaranteed under the 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Accomplishing this in his second term was an outstanding accomplishment, not only did Johnson keep his word but also is demonstrating that he is ready to do more for the country. This victory streak didn’t last forever, America got involved in War. LBJ’s presidency was dominated by the Vietnam War. United States attacked villagers and their homes, American citizens had no idea. The U.S had many as 4 million people into refugees, refugees that were innocent and noble people. By late 1968, the U.S

On a clear sunny day in Dallas Texas, November 22, 1963 to be exact, at about 12:30pm, the President's car rounded the curve in front of the Texas School Book Depository building and proceeded on to Main Street throughout Dally plaza. Shots rang out and the President was rushed to the nearby hospital and was declared dead at 1pm. The Vice President took the oath of office and flew back to Washington with the slain leader. The accused assassin was arrested, charged and then executed on national television in front of millions. Three days latter, the Texas officials in charge of the investigation declared the case closed and the new President set up a hand picked committee to investigate. The

On November 22, 1963, was a sad day in the United States of America. The youngest president we ever had was assassinated .On elm street right in front of the Texas School Book Depository in Dallas, Texas . He was approximately shot at 12:30 p.m. The assassin was Lee Harvey Oswald . A Dallas Texas resident who was also a communist .

John F. Kennedy did a lot for our country although his presidential term was cut short. He had a certain allure to him that Americans liked. Kennedy knew what to do to gain the votes of all different types of voters no matter their age, race, or religion. His campaign and presidency have inspired even today’s presidents and presidential candidates in multiple ways. John F. Kennedy was a spectacular man and president that brought a fresh feel to America and who left a legacy that will never be forgotten.

President Kennedy was forced to face the civil rights as a persuasive cause. He was for racial equality, but did little to support it. President Kennedy felt that the Freedom Riders were a nuisance and he

The promotion of civil rights was in alignment with JFK’s goal of winning the presidency, so he crafted a perception of himself as a champion of civil rights in an attempt to win the presidency. He ran for presidency during the era of Martin Luther King Jr. It was an era where a majority of African Americans wanted equal opportunity. African Americans made up a sizable chunk of the electorate base at that time, so it was in JFK’s best interest

Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy had a parallel life pattern, which makes their lives an even greater mystery. First, JFK was elected one hundred years after Abraham Lincoln. As far as the world could see, they both impacted the black community from freeing the slaves to embracing civil rights. But even to this day in the South, anyone or public figure trying to help the African American society will face the fate of death. The South has

First, LBJ was born in the South, and was raised hating blacks, and did seem to hate them for quite a while. Before JFK was assassinated and he was elected as president, he did little-to-nothing about the civil rights for the black community. Instead, he passed a bill that was so weak and watered-down that it might as well have not even happened. If he actually wanted to do something about the civil rights problems, he would have passed a much stronger bill that would actually do something for these people, instead of just leave them in the same state they've been in for quite a while. He didn't really seem to show much interest at all in helping African Americans before he was elected as president.

¨ We are not here to curse the darkness, but to light the candle that can guide us through that darkness to a safe and sane future¨ John F. Kennedy. John F. Kennedy was born on May 27th 1917. He became the 35th president of the united states in January 1961. The JFK assassination shocked the world and left many pieces to an uncompleted puzzle behind it.

Being a leader for what is right could mean death right around the corner. Few people take on this task, risking their everyday lives for something that is morally right.
