John F. Kennedy was, most emphatically, not a racist. He was born and raised a New England Brahman and, as such, was quite naive about the extent and virulence of racism throughout the American South and in most major cities of the North. He never really knew many black persons. This naivete accounted for his detachment from the issue throughout much of his congressional career. But this is not racism and he eventually changed for the better.

He did not, as another reviewer has claimed, vote against the 1957 Civil Rights Act. After some compromises worked out by Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson with Southern Democrats, Kennedy voted for the bill in its final form. During his bid for the presidency, when Kennedy learned of the Reverend Martin Luther King's arrest in Georgia, he intervened, with his brother Robert's help, to secure King's release and safe return to his family. When three years later, Dr. King was again arrested in Alabama, President Kennedy again intervened to ensure his safety and release. On both occasions, Kennedy called Coretta Scott King directly to console and reassure her. The 1960 episode helped coalesce black support for him in the 1960 election.

When Kennedy took office, he and his brother were skeptical of their ability to pass meaningful civil rights legislation. Instead, they relied on executive authority to integrate public interstate transportation and to prevent discrimination in federally-funded housing. They also appointed an unprecedented number of blacks to high-level positions in the administration. Attorney General Robert Kennedy championed voting rights for blacks by initiating five times as many law suits in courts throughout the South than did the Eisenhower Justice Department. They made significant appointments of blacks to the judiciary, including Thurgood Marshall, essentially paving the way for his elevation by President Johnson to the Supreme Court a few years later.

Under Kennedy, the Civil Rights Commission, created by the 1957 Civil Rights Act, was strengthened and the President's Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity was created. These resulted in the first affirmative action programs being implemented to award federal contracts to minority-owned businesses. In upholding the Supreme Court's decision, in Brown vs. Board of Education, Kennedy used his executive authority to enforce the lawful admission of black students into the Universities of Mississippi and Alabama.

When the brave leaders and followers of the civil rights movement persevered in the face of racist violence, the need for action at the federal level became imperative and the Kennedys finally responded by formally asking of the congress its approval of the most comprehensive civil rights legislation since the 14th amendment was approved by congress in 1866 for ratification by the states. This became the 1964 Civil Rights Act passed after his death. Concurrent with drafting legislation, President Kennedy met with hundreds of business and institutional leaders at the White House, in the summer and fall of 1963, to press for voluntary desegregation of facilities throughout the United States. The Kennedys opposed the idea of the March on Washington, thinking that it would actually harm the chances for passage of the Civil rights bill. However, once it was set in motion, they did everything they could, logistically, to help it succeed peaceably.

The unfortunate and dishonorable treatment of Dr. King, in terms of the Kennedys' acquiescence in the FBI's wiretapping him in late 1963, is less a personal reflection of an animosity and distrust of Dr. King than of their fear of reprisal by J. Edgar Hoover if they had not acquiesced. The Kennedy's cannot, however, be held responsible for the extremes to which the FBI went on the pretext of this limited license and others.

In the final analysis, John. F. Kennedy made the strongest stance against racial discrimination of any President since Ulysses S. Grant during Reconstruction. That his successor did an even more extraordinary job of dismantling the institutions of racial discrimination, does not serve to qualify or minimize Kennedy's record so much as to eclipse it to an extent.

In Short: no!!!

Evelyn Maurine Norton Lincoln (June 25, 1909 - May 11, 1995) was the personal secretary to John F. Kennedy from his election to the United States Senate in 1953 until his 1963 assassination in Dallas.

The coin is actually called a Walking Liberty half. The design was re-used on so-called "eagle dollars" minted for collectors starting in 1986, so there's a lot of confusion about the two.

The casket chosen for the late President Kennedy was not the Elgin bronze casket in which he was taken from Dallas to the capital because that casket had been damage by the Secret Service people during the loading / unloading process. Therefore, the damaged bronze casket was replaced by a mahogany casket provided by the prestigious Joseph Gawler's Sons funeral home of Washington, DC. The design chosen was a "Seven-Ten" (710) made by the nation's leading hardwood casket manufacturer, the (former) Marsellus Casket Company of Syracuse, NY., which already had provided the mahogany casket of President Truman. Although the "Seven-Ten" had a plain and unpretentious looking design of timeless simplicity, it was nevertheless an expensive luxury casket from solid 1-1/4" and 2-1/2" planks of up to 500 year old African mahogany trees - a fact which did not yet evoke any noticeable environmental criticism at that time. The understatement design had heavily rounded corners and all wooden swing bar handles with bronze tips and lugs. The Marsellus company had acquired the reputation of following extraordinarily high manufacturing standards in the production of its luxury caskets, involving a high percentage of hand crafting by expert craftsmen. The company accepted for example only 20% of the wood as meeting the "select grade" standard for ribbon grained mahogany. All casket parts were assembled with copper nails and brass screws. Marsellus also claimed that the amount of mahogany used in each 710 model was about 140 board feet - an equivalent of almost 3.700 square feet of veneer, enough for some 200 dining tables. The finishing process took about three weeks and consisted of a dozen different operations which included the application of half a dozen layers of sealer and lacquer as well as half a day of hand rubbing. President Kennedy's non ornamental, yet highly elegant and stylish mahogany casket had a brownish wooden stain and a semi gloss finish; inside, it featured a shirred champagne interior of non- rushing premium velvet and a moisture absorbing bed of pure white spun rayon. Gawler's Sons charged $ 2460 for the casket, which had a wholesale price of about 500 at that time, respectively an estimated 800 including an solid bronze inner liner. The high price of Kennedy's casket as well as the less common "hinged cap" design of its lid (of which only the uppermost part of the - divided - top was opened for viewing) seem to indicate that, probably, Kennedy's casket had been equipped with such a hermetically sealing inner bronze liner including a full length oval glass top, raising the weight of the (empty) casket from 260 to about 500 lbs. Due to the fact that the Marsellus # 710 model was also chosen for the burial of President Ford and Pres. Nixon, and probably for Pres. Hoover as well, this design has become almost synonymous with "the presidential casket" in the US.

Andrew Johnson was originally a Democrat, but eschewed both the Radical Republicans/Republicans and Democratic parties for years, particularly during his Presidency when he attempted to promote the short-lived National Union Party. He was elected as Lincoln's Vice-President on the National Union ticket, but the party's demise essentially made him an independent during his term of office, and the last President to serve without a major party affiliation. He eventually rejoined the Democratic Party when he returned to the Senate shortly before his death in 1875.

Elected president in 1960, Kennedy had campaigned on an idealistic New Frontier platform. The president believed that by showing the world what a free and democratic society had to offer, the United States could ensure the defeat of Communism.

Kennedy said, "The New Frontier is not a set of promises - it is a set of challenges. It sums up not what I intend to offer the American People but what I intend to ask of them"! That is how the famous words came about, "My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country! "

For the Kennedy White House, the Secret Service purchased a convertible parade limousine custom built by Hess & Eisenhart of Cincinnati, Ohio from a 1961 Lincoln four-door convertible. Code named the SS-100-X, it was in this car that JFK was assassinated in 1963. By that time, the front of the car had been updated with the grille/headlight/bumper assembly from the 1962 model. After the assassination, the limousine was returned to Hess & Eisenhart, where it was repaired and retrofitted with full armor and a fixed roof. It subsequently continued in service for the White House for many years. This world-famous car is now on display at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan

Kennedy is warring with "strong nations that might threaten Americans' survival and liberty." He never explicitly states which nation's he is talking about, but America's strongest enemies at that time were Russia and Cuba. Kennedy's statement was meant, however, to serve as a warning to all nations when choosing who their allies were.

President Kennedy did not end the Cold War. The Cold War continued for another 25 years after his death.
