Maryl Pritt- The President's Calling, John F. Kennedy.

I listened to phone conversations between President John F. Kennedy and Governor Barnett. These phone calls were about James Meridith who was a colored man whom had applied for college at the University of Mississippi. President Kennedy handled the situation very well and made many smart decisions such as not bringing in armed troops in hopes to keep the uproar to a bare minimum. President Kennedy was against segregation, so he had a determination to get Meridith into college, making him the first black man to be accepted into college. I did not like listening to a podcast though due to my short attention span and inability to only be able to listen to the podcast, instead of see it.
