"We Face a Moral Crisis:" John F. Kennedy's Commitment to Civil Rights, June 11, 1963.
Lyons, Thomas T.
New England Journal of History, v52 n2 p109-128 Fall 1995
Traces the slow, incremental journey of President John F. Kennedy from a cautious supporter of civil rights to an ardent advocate. Until his June 11, 1963 televised presidential address, Kennedy's commitment to civil rights was weakened by his desire to avoid political conflict with southern democrats. (MJP)
