Ashlyn Dewit- President Calling
I listened to John F. Kennedy phone
calls with Governor Barnett discussing the issue of letting a colored student,
James Meredith, into Ole Miss. It is contemptible how people were treated and
people still got away with it. Meredith was no different than any other
students, hardworking, smart, and determined, but because of simply how he
looked he was not able to attend the University of Mississippi. Although it was
an upsetting conversation I was glad that President Kennedy decided to try and
convince Governor Barnett to let Meredith enter the campus, so he could attend.
Kennedy did not want to have to use federal troops because he did not want to
lose votes from the South. Thankfully today at Ole Miss there is something
called the William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation, which helps
advocate for diversity.

This book seems like it would be interesting and would have many good ideas to learn from.
