John F.
Kennedy
John Fitzgerald Kennedy (May 29, 1917 – November 22, 1963), often referred to
by his initials JFK and Jack, was an American politician who served as the 35 th
president of the United States from January 1961 until his assassination in
November 1963. Kennedy served at the height of the Cold War, and the majority
of his work as president concerned relations with the Soviet Union and Cuba. A
Democrat, Kennedy represented Massachusetts in the U.S. House of
Representatives and Senate prior to becoming president.
JFK spoke for the people, especially for those who were fighting against race
discrimination, the black people, JFK encouraged those people to fight against the
racist white people, being moved by the courage of the black people, they were
protesting in a peaceful manner, which resulted in many people of all races going
to Washington to meet with JFK, one step forward to the equality of all races and
revolution for complete equality in education, employment and housing
throughout the United States, north and south.
In 1962 Kennedy spoke about numerous missile sites throughout Cuba
established by the Soviet Union, he said that although Peace and Freedom were
established across the United States, that doesn’t mean U.S. will surrender, no
attempts for missile or any kind of threats against the west or the east will be
tolerated.
In berlin during the Kennedy years, there had been a new kind of blockade, not to
keep out missiles, but to keep in humans, these germans have been fleeing into
west Berlin at the rate of 10.000 a week. 2 million of their population was gone.
To prevent others from leaving a wall was constructed, taller and taller it became
but never higher than the people’s will to live. Kennedy spoke against this
manner, as it was a bad use of communism, an offense not only against history,
but an offense against humanity, separating families, dividing husbands and wives
and brothers of sisters, and abiding of people who wished to be joined together.
He said that freedom has many different qualities, and democracy is not perfect,
but they never had to put a wall out to keep people in.
He wanted to achieve true peace, and this is why a lot of people liked him and
wished to follow his lead, that’s why he’s known as one of the best presidents of
the U.S., but he was probably assassinated for the same reasons, as malevolent
people who work from the shadows see peace and freedom as bad economic
insights.
