Kathryn Rawls- President Calling

I choose to listen to JFK's recorded talks with the Governor of Mississippi, Ross Barnett, over the issue of the admittance of an African-American man, James Meredith, into the University of Mississippi. In the beginning of the phone calls, President Kennedy discusses the subject over the ban that was placed on James Meredith that denied him from being admitted into the University of Mississippi. The Governor tries to convince Kennedy to talk to Mr. Watkins, Barnett's lawyer, and that he wants to uphold the law, but that Mr. Meredith cannot be admitted because of a "criminal record". In the next talk Kennedy asserts his status of the President to get the truth from the Governor on the control and prevention of a mob forming against James Meredith's registration into the University. In a address given by Kennedy he announces that James Meredith was admitted into the segregated university, and that it is important to uphold the law because if we don't then we can come to tyranny.
Over the course of the secretly typed conversations and the publicly announced speeches, President Kennedy has proven himself  man of honor and who's highest purpose is to up hold the law and serve justice where it is deserved. His address to the public of the issue in Mississippi over segregation, he states that it is not the law enforcements job to up hold the law but for the citizens accept and respect the law, which is a powerful statement that can be applied to every citizen no matter how far it is into the future from his speech.
 Kennedy had a strong belief that had showed over the course of the phone calls and speeches, that every man was equal no matter what color their skin was. Kennedy had fought for upholding the law against segregation, and he had the power to make a change in society for the greater good.
