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.
Kennedy's Consumer Bill of Rights included the right to be informed, the right to safety, the right to choose, and the right to be heard
The Civil Rights Act was mostly drawn up during the Kennedy years, but Kennedy was unable to get it passed by Congress. Lyndon Johnson after Kennedy's assassination put the wheels in motion to finally get it passed, in 1964.
