Kaitlyn Daramola - Presidents Calling

I listened to the discussion between the Governor of Mississippi, Ross Barnett, and John F. Kennedy about the ban that would not allow James Meredith from entering the University of Mississippi. I think that it is horrible that the Governor will not let Mr. Meredith into Ole Miss solely on his race and not taking in to consideration his intelligence and work ethic. But what makes it worse is that Mr. Barnett tries to cover up his racism and states that Meredith is not able to attend the university because he has committed a “crime” when he actually did not. It displays the corruption of the Governor and the government of Mississippi itself.
