Logan Featherstone- The President Calling

I chose to listen to JFK's tapes to the Governor of Mississippi, Ross Barnett, during the huge civil right movement to get the first colored man, James Meridith, into Ole Miss. I enjoyed how when Barnett tried to say something to the president that was a utter lye JFK just called him out on it and made Barnett do everything he said or threatened to expose him to his follower(white Mississippi Racists) that he was negotiating with him, which would end his career as a politician in Mississippi.
