Features: This book presents clear and debatable viewpoints, with each chapter reflecting the author's own perspectives. It holds both academic value and engaging readability. This book is a new contribution to the study of the African American civil rights movement in the United States during the 1960s. The author discusses a crucial aspect of the civil rights movement—the civil rights policies of the U.S. federal government and the interactive relationship between these policies and the movement itself. It analyzes the objective and subjective reasons behind the Kennedy administration's proactive policies and provides a detailed interpretation of the personal factors influencing Kennedy's civil rights policies. Additionally, the author objectively introduces President Kennedy's life path (family background, religious beliefs, education, desire for power, sense of responsibility) and his civil rights perspectives.
