Kennedy push for broad civil rights program in Congress
President Kennedy sent Congress a five point civil rights package described as urgent and responsible. The plan aims to guarantee equal access to public facilities, speed desegregation, ensure fair employment, establish a federal community relations service, and bar federal aid to discriminatory programs. It targets privately owned facilities serving the public and seeks to extend protections under interstate commerce and the 15th Amendment. The message urges a yearlong session to enact a single omnibus bill and asks lawmakers to set aside politics.
