JFK SENDS CIVIL RIGHTS BILL TO CONGRESS
President John F. Kennedy sent his Civil Rights proposals of 1963 to Capitol Hill today with the request that this legislation be passed before the end of the year.
The President said:
"The time has come for the Congress to join with the executive & judicial branches in making it clear to all that race has no place in American life or law."
JFK wants voting rights assured & constitutionally mandated school desegregation continued as well as equal access to public facilities.
He also said:
"Justice requires us to insure the blessings of liberty for all Americans....above all because it is right."*
*Congress will adjourn on December 30 having not taken a vote on JFK's civil rights proposals.
