Alexis Johnson: The President Calling

I listened to all of JFK's phone calls, and his assertiveness in equality towards the governors was very courageous in regards to Civil Rights Movement.. His frequent calls to Mississippi about their lack of cooperation in integration of schools is very inspiring, and very informative as to what states were opposed to change, and which wanted to embrace it. His sternness on the matter of the the riots in Mississippi towards Governor Barnett show his determination to create equality, starting in the schools. Ultimately, some were just opposed to change, and  President Kennedy's was cut short, leaving a lasting legacy in American History and the Civil Rights Movement.
