How did Kennedy's phone call to mrs king help him in the election?

It illustrated his allegiance to fighting for civil rights. Although JFK generally managed to do little for the civil rights movement in his shortened presidency, he did advocate fpr a civil rights bill (later passed by Lyndon B Johnson on Kennedy's death). This telephone call and concern earned Kennedy respect amongst black voters, many who had considered voting Republican, including M L King's father (who had been concerned about Kennedy's catholicism), changed their minds for the polls.
