Hunter Rogers- The President Calling

I chose to listen to the recording of JFK talking about the Mississippi Crisis. After listening to this recording i earned a lot of respect for JFK as a politician and as a person due to how he stuck up for James Meredith in the case and wouldn't give up until he was accepted into Ole' Miss. He also made sure that everyone that was watching the event in person would be safe and that Meredith himself would be protected by US marshalls and also the patrolman for the state. He spoke as both a politician but also
kept many of the promises he made to the governor which makes him a very honorable man. In my opinion Meredith enrolling at the school should have never been an issue in the first place but I understand that it was such a big deal because of the time period that the event took place in.
