Madison Short: The President Calling

I listened to the conversations between President John F. Kennedy and Governor Barnett. They discussed what to do about James Meredith and the riots that would most likely take place if he was moved back into Mississippi. Kennedy wanted to make sure that the Governor would take all necessary actions to prevent any violence and damage in Mississippi. The Governor asked if the President would address the people and he agreed to. In his speech he discourage any riots and encouraged all the citizens of Mississippi to obey the law even though they may not agree with it.
