Patricia Walker- The President Calling

I listened to President John F. Kennedy’s discussions with Governor Barnett about the riots that are happening in Mississippi. John F. Kennedy was aware that there were riots in Mississippi and wanted Governor Barnet to take control of the situation to prevent violence. James Meredith was denied access to the University of Mississippi and people began expressing their opinions toward the situation. Kennedy noticed that the Supreme Court’s decision was affecting the actions of the people of Mississippi and he wanted Governor Barnett to have authorities to take control of the riots and keep peace in Mississippi. I also listened to the discussion when Kennedy addressed the nation about the issue in Mississippi. I think this shows that he was a man of honor and that he cared about the safety of the U.S citizens.
