JFK and RFK in the Civil Rights Movement Era

While President Kennedy didn’t live long enough to see Congress pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964, his brother Robert would pick up where JFK left off. Historian Patricia Sullivan discusses both Kennedys roles during the civil rights movement of the 1960s.

Most probably the same motives applied in the Kennedy killings, as to John Wilkes Booth’s killing of Lincoln a century before.
Not only does history repeat itself, it rhymes.
