President John F. Kennedy initially approached civil rights cautiously, prioritizing political stability over immediate action. However, as the Civil Rights Movement gained momentum, he became more supportive, notably proposing comprehensive civil rights legislation in 1963. His administration also took steps to enforce desegregation in public facilities and schools, and he delivered a landmark speech calling for racial equality. Ultimately, Kennedy's actions laid the groundwork for the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

John F. Kennedy was committed to advancing civil rights, but his actions were initially cautious. While he supported racial equality, he encountered political challenges in Congress that limited the progress he could achieve on certain civil rights legislation. However, his administration played a significant role in pushing for desegregation and promoting equality through executive orders and oversight of federally funded programs.
