John F. Kennedy: Self - President of the United States
Quotes
-
Self - President of the United States : The heart of the question is, whether all Americans are to afforded equal rights and equal opportunities. Whether we are going to treat our fellow Americans, as we want to be treated. If an American, because his skin is dark, cannot enjoy the full and free life which all of us want, then who among us would be content to have the color of his skin changed and stand in his place. Who among us would then be content, with the counsels of patience and delay. 100 years of delay has passed since President Lincoln freed the slaves, yet their heirs, their grandsons, are not fully free.

Self - President of the United States : This nation, for all its hopes and all its boasts, will not be fully free until all its citizens are free.
