John F Kennedy was the 35th president and he stood on the side of MLK during a civil rights meeting, on June 11, 1963 in Washington D.C. JFK stated in a speech that he wanted all people to fully end descrimination against African-Americans.

On August 28, 1963 Martin Luther King delivered the "I Have A Dream Speech" at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. In which he stated that both blacks and whites can come together and not be segregated.

Ruby Nell Bridges on November 14, 1960 was the first African American to go to an all white school. Although she didn't know what was going on she made a big difference in why schools shouldn't be segregated because African Americans can have the same intelligence level as whites.
