JFK
John F. Kennedy (JFK) and Lyndon B. Johnson played pivotal roles in advancing the civil rights movement during the 1960s. JFK initially approached civil rights cautiously, but his administration ultimately took significant steps, including proposing the Civil Rights Act of 1964. After JFK's assassination, Lyndon B. Johnson championed the legislation, successfully pushing it through Congress, which led to landmark reforms in racial equality and anti-discrimination laws. Their combined efforts helped to galvanize the movement and bring national attention to the struggle for civil rights in the United States.
