Alex Bynum - President's calling

JFK is clearly very concerned and worried for the conflicts happening in Mississippi. He is trying to prevent as much injury and casualties as possible. He is trying to get confirmation from the Governor of Mississippi that he will do everything he can to maintain "Law and Order" in Mississippi. JFK is trying to prevent mobs of angry men and women from forming in Mississippi, but he tells the Governor "Well the only thing is i got my responsibilities, this is not my order, i just have to carry it out". Saying this, JFK is explaining to the Governor that he is not the Governor of Mississippi. That the law and order in mississippi is for the Governor of Mississippi to take care of, not the President himself. Once actions were taken in Mississippi, JFK addressed to the Nation that Mr. James Meredeth was safely placed on Campus of Mississippi University. This man and the case in which he was related to is what created the mobs and disapproval in Mississippi. The mixing of color in the University was not going well with the local residents. I find this very interesting and intriguing that racism was so large on scale that national news and conflict was created from one African American trying to attend the University.
