What factors made it difficult for Kennedy to act on civil rights?

Many factors made it difficult for Kennedy to act on civil rights. It was the early 1960s--half the country didn't want blacks to have any rights. Groups fought to keep blacks in their places--using black toilets, black water foutains, and stuck at the back of the bus. The KKK was very active in the South. Politicians were either too afraid to support Civil Rights, or personally disagreed with blacks having rights.


Did president Kennedy sign the civil rights act of 1963?

Absolutely. The administration, especially through Attorney General Robert Kennedy, lead the cause of civil rights in the early 1960s. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was the natural culmination of these efforts, even though it was passed in the Johnson administration. Of course, Johnson had been Kennedy's VP, so he was familiar with the effort.
