Feb 10, Hi Mercedes, Thanks for sending a friend request to this fellow Goodreads author!

Apr 11, Thanks for the friend invite Mercedes! Mar 22, Earlier, Kennedy had signed the executive order creating the Presidential Commission on the Status of Women on December 14, The Commission statistics revealed that women were also experiencing discrimination; its final report, documenting legal and cultural barriers, was issued in October Over a hundred thousand, predominantly African Americans gathered in Washington for the civil rights March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on August 28, Kennedy feared the March would have a negative effect on the prospects for the civil rights bills in Congress, and declined an invitation to speak.

He turned over some of the details of the government's involvement to the Dept. To ensure a peaceful demonstration, the organizers and the president personally edited speeches which were inflammatory and agreed the March would be held on a Wednesday and would be over at 4: Thousands of troops were placed on standby. Kennedy watched King's speech on TV and was very impressed. The March was considered a "triumph of managed protest", and not one arrest relating to the demonstration occurred. Afterwards, the March leaders accepted an invitation to the White House to meet with Kennedy and photos were taken.

Kennedy felt that the March was a victory for him as well and bolstered the chances for his civil rights bill. Nevertheless, the struggle was far from over. Three weeks later, a bomb exploded on Sunday, September 15, at the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham; by the end of the day, four African American children had died in the explosion, and two other children were shot to death in the aftermath. Kennedy called the congressional leaders to the White House and by the following day the original bill, without the additions, had enough votes to get it out of the House committee.

Johnson, prompted by Kennedy's memory, after his assassination in November, enforcing voting rights, public accommodations, employment, education, and the administration of justice. Concerned by these allegations, the FBI deployed agents to monitor King in the following months. After the associations continued, Robert Kennedy issued a written directive authorizing the FBI to wiretap King and other leaders of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, King's civil rights organization, in October Although Kennedy only gave written approval for limited wiretapping of King's phones "on a trial basis, for a month or so", [] Hoover extended the clearance so his men were "unshackled" to look for evidence in any areas of King's life they deemed worthy.

During the campaign Kennedy proposed an overhaul of American immigration and naturalization laws to ban discrimination based on national origin. He saw this proposal as an extension of his planned civil rights agenda as president. The policy change also shifted the emphasis in the selection of immigrants in favor of family reunification.

The late-president's brother, Senator Edward Kennedy helped steer the legislation through the Senate. Kennedy was asked by the American Civil Liberties Union to intervene and to halt the project, but he declined, citing a critical need for flood control. He expressed concern about the plight of the Seneca, and directed government agencies to assist in obtaining more land, damages, and assistance to help mitigate their displacement. The Apollo program was conceived early in , during the Eisenhower administration, as a follow-up to Project Mercury , to be used as a shuttle to an Earth-orbital space station , flights around the Moon, or landing on it.

While NASA went ahead with planning for Apollo, funding for the program was far from certain, given Eisenhower's ambivalent attitude to manned spaceflight. In constructing his Presidential administration, Kennedy elected to retain Eisenhower's last science advisor Jerome Wiesner as head of the President's Science Advisory Committee. Wiesner was strongly opposed to manned space exploration, [] having issued a report highly critical of Project Mercury. Webb , an experienced Washington insider who served President Truman as budget director and undersecretary of state. Webb proved to be adept at obtaining the support of Congress, the President, and the American people.

In Kennedy's January State of the Union address, he had suggested international cooperation in space. Khrushchev declined, as the Soviets did not wish to reveal the status of their rocketry and space capabilities. However, this quickly changed on April 12, , when Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first person to fly in space, reinforcing American fears about being left behind in a technological competition with the Soviet Union.

On April 20, he sent a memo to Johnson, asking him to look into the status of America's space program, and into programs that could offer NASA the opportunity to catch up. I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth. No single space project in this period will be more impressive to mankind, or more important for the long-range exploration of space; and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish. After Congress authorized the funding, Webb began reorganizing NASA, increasing its staffing level, and building two new centers: Kennedy took the latter occasion as an opportunity to deliver another speech at Rice to promote the space effort on September 12, , in which he said:.

No nation which expects to be the leader of other nations can expect to stay behind in this race for space. We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard. On November 21, , in a cabinet meeting with NASA administrator Webb and other officials, Kennedy explained that the Moon shot was important for reasons of international prestige, and that the expense was justified.

In a September speech before the United Nations, Kennedy urged cooperation between the Soviets and Americans in space, specifically recommending that Apollo be switched to "a joint expedition to the Moon". In addition to his two Supreme Court appointments, Kennedy appointed 21 judges to the United States Courts of Appeals , and judges to the United States district courts.

President Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, at He was in Texas on a political trip to smooth over frictions in the Democratic Party between liberals Ralph Yarborough and Don Yarborough no relation and conservative John Connally. Kennedy was taken to Parkland Hospital for emergency medical treatment, where he was pronounced dead 30 minutes later. He was 46 years old and had been in office for 1, days. Lee Harvey Oswald , an order filler at the Texas School Book Depository from which the shots were suspected to have been fired, was arrested for the murder of police officer J.

Tippit , and was subsequently charged with Kennedy's assassination. He denied shooting anyone, claiming he was a patsy , [] [] and was killed by Jack Ruby on November 24, before he could be prosecuted. Ruby was arrested and convicted for the murder of Oswald. Ruby successfully appealed his conviction and death sentence but became ill and died of cancer on January 3, , while the date for his new trial was being set. President Johnson quickly issued an executive order to create the Warren Commission —chaired by Chief Justice Earl Warren —to investigate the assassination.

The commission concluded that Oswald acted alone in killing Kennedy and that Oswald was not part of any conspiracy. House Select Committee on Assassinations concluded that it believed "that Kennedy was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy. The committee was unable to identify the other gunmen or the extent of the conspiracy. Brauer concluded that the public's "fascination with the assassination may indicate a psychological denial of Kennedy's death, a mass wish Matthew the Apostle on November 25, On March 14, , Kennedy's remains were disinterred and moved only a few feet away to a permanent burial plot and memorial.

It was from this memorial that the graves of both Robert and Ted Kennedy were modeled. Kennedy was greatly impressed by the Irish Cadets on his last official visit to Ireland, so much so that Jackie Kennedy requested the Irish Army to be the honor guard at her husband's funeral. Kennedy's wife Jacqueline and their two deceased minor children were later interred in the same plot. JFK's brother Robert was buried nearby in June In August , Ted was also buried near his two brothers. Kennedy's grave is lit with an " Eternal Flame ".

Kennedy and William Howard Taft are the only two U. Kennedy's favorite poems and he often asked his wife to recite it". The Kennedy family is one of the most established political families in the United States, having produced a president, three senators, three ambassadors, and multiple other representatives and politicians, both at the federal and state level.

While a Congressman, Kennedy embarked on a seven-week trip to India, Japan, Vietnam , and Israel in , at which point he became close with his then year-old brother Bobby , as well as his year-old sister Pat. Because they were several years apart in age, the brothers had previously seen little of each other.

Kennedy came in third behind Martin Luther King, Jr. Kennedy met his future wife, Jacqueline Lee "Jackie" Bouvier — , when he was a congressman. Bartlett , a journalist, introduced the pair at a dinner party. John Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr. However, he passed away after 2 days due to complications from birth.

Kennedy and his wife were younger in comparison to the presidents and first ladies who preceded them, and both were popular in the media culture in ways more common to pop singers and movie stars than politicians, influencing fashion trends and becoming the subjects of numerous photo spreads in popular magazines. Although Eisenhower had allowed presidential press conferences to be filmed for television, Kennedy was the first president to ask for them to be broadcast live and made good use of the medium.

Kennedy brought new art and furniture to the White House, and directed its restoration. They invited a range of artists, writers and intellectuals to rounds of White House dinners, raising the profile of the arts in America. On the White House lawn, the Kennedys established a swimming pool and tree house, while Caroline attended a preschool along with 10 other children inside the home.

The president was closely tied to popular culture, emphasized by songs such as " Twisting at the White House". Vaughn Meader's First Family comedy album, which parodied the president, the first lady, their family, and the administration, sold about four million copies. President " at a large party in Madison Square Garden , celebrating Kennedy's upcoming forty-fifth birthday. The term "Camelot" came to be used retrospectively as iconic of the Kennedy administration, and the charisma of Kennedy and his family.

The term was first publicly used by his wife in a post-assassination Life magazine interview with Theodore H. White , in which she revealed his affection for the contemporary Broadway musical of the same name , particularly the closing lines of the title song: Don't let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief, shining moment that was known as Camelot.

There'll be great presidents again In Robert Dallek wrote an extensive history of Kennedy's health. Dallek was able to consult a collection of Kennedy-associated papers from the years —, including X-rays and prescription records from the files of White House physician Dr. According to Travell's records, during his presidential years Kennedy suffered from high fevers; stomach, colon, and prostate issues; abscesses; high cholesterol; and adrenal problems. Travell kept a "Medicine Administration Record," cataloguing Kennedy's medications: Years after Kennedy's death, it was revealed that in September , while Kennedy was 30 and in his first term in Congress, he was diagnosed by Sir Daniel Davis at The London Clinic with Addison's disease , a rare endocrine disorder.

Travell revealed that Kennedy also had hypothyroidism. The presence of two endocrine diseases raises the possibility that Kennedy had autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 2 APS 2. Kennedy also suffered from chronic and severe back pain, for which he had surgery and was written up in the American Medical Association 's Archives of Surgery. Kennedy's condition may have had diplomatic repercussions, as he appears to have been taking a combination of drugs to treat severe back pain during the Vienna Summit with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev.

The combination included hormones, animal organ cells, steroids, vitamins, enzymes, and amphetamines, and possible potential side effects included hyperactivity, hypertension , impaired judgment, nervousness, and mood swings. Into late , disagreements existed among Kennedy's doctors concerning his proper balance of medication and exercise. The president preferred the former, because he was short on time and desired immediate relief.

Ghaemi, who studied Kennedy's medical records, concluded there was a "correlation; it is not causation; but it may not be coincidence either". Kennedy and his family have experienced a number of personal tragedies. His older brother Joseph P. His wife Jacqueline Kennedy suffered a miscarriage in and a stillbirth in Kennedy was single in the s when he had affairs with Danish journalist Inga Arvad [] and actress Gene Tierney.

The extent of Kennedy's relationship with Monroe is not fully known, although it has been reported that they spent a weekend together in March while he was staying at Bing Crosby 's house. Kennedy inspired affection and loyalty from the members of his team and his supporters. Though there has never been any proof of homosexual activity between them, Kennedy would often, and even when married, share a bedroom with his lifelong and close friend Lem Billings.

At the commemoration of the 25th anniversary of Kennedy's death, General Michael D. Later, a wreath in the form of the Green Beret would be placed on the grave, continuing a tradition that began the day of his funeral when a sergeant in charge of a detail of Special Forces men guarding the grave placed his beret on the coffin. Navy, [] and one of the enduring legacies of his administration was the creation in of another special forces command, the Navy SEALs , [] which Kennedy enthusiastically supported.

Kennedy's civil rights proposals led to the Civil Rights Act of Johnson, Kennedy's successor, took up the mantle and pushed the landmark Civil Rights Act through a bitterly divided Congress by invoking the slain president's memory. This civil rights law ended what was known as the " Solid South " and certain provisions were modeled after the Civil Rights Act of , signed into law by President Ulysses S. Kennedy's continuation of Presidents Harry S. Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower's policies of giving economic and military aid to South Vietnam left the door open for President Johnson's escalation of the conflict.

The Vietnam War contributed greatly to a decade of national difficulties, amid violent disappointment on the political landscape. Many of Kennedy's speeches especially his inaugural address are considered iconic; and despite his relatively short term in office, and the lack of major legislative changes coming to fruition during his term, Americans regularly vote him as one of the best presidents, in the same league as Abraham Lincoln, George Washington , and Franklin D.
