JFK Civil Rights Speech
"WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS BY THE AUCTIONEER ONCE ALL BIDS HAVE BEEN PROCESSED TO DETERMINE THE WINNER FOR EACH LOT."
Original transcript of President Kennedy's 30 September 1962 primetime television address regarding the Supreme Court's landmark ruling forcing the University of Mississippi to integrate. Issued by the Office of The White House Press, JFK backed the ruling allowing African American student James Meredith to enroll at Ole Miss. Kennedy boldly states, ''Americans are free to disagree with the law but not to disobey it.'' 5pp. on three 8.5'' x 11'' sheets. Light toning, otherwise near fine.
