The text discusses a White racism critique and a presidential committee tasked to study violence in America.

Kennedy Could Have Helped Black Americans as President
The piece argues Kennedy would have aided African Americans despite high unemployment and income inequality. It cites data: Negro unemployment at 6.7 percent versus whites, 20 to 30 percent in slums, 50 percent under $5000 income, and limited access to white collar jobs. Kennedy’s plans included fair housing, education guidance, and fair employment practices.
