John Kennedy
The Public Record
John Fitzgerald Kennedy was the 35th President of the United States, serving from January 20, 1961, until his assassination on November 22, 1963. A member of the Democratic Party, he was born in Massachusetts and is often remembered for his leadership during the Cuban Missile Crisis, which brought the world to the brink of nuclear war. Kennedy also established the Peace Corps, promoting international service and cooperation, and he advocated for civil rights, laying the groundwork for future legislation in this area.

I think that if the federal government moved out of the program and withdrew its supports then I think you would have complete economic chaos.
The question now is: Can freedom be maintained under the most severe attack it has ever known?
I should make it very clear that I do not think we're doing enough, that I am not satisfied as an American with the progress that we're making.
If a Negro baby is born he has about one-half as much chance to get through high school as a white baby.
