This is the Civil Rights Act of 1964 article. PART B: Which section from the text best supports the answer to Part A? [RI.1]
A. “These were upheld by the Supreme Court in Plessy v. Ferguson (1895), which found state laws requiring racial segregation that were ‘separate but equal' to be constitutional.” (Paragraph 2)

C. “Kennedy met with businessmen, religious leaders, labor officials, and other groups such as CORE and NAACP, while also maneuvering behind the scenes to build bipartisan support and negotiate compromises over controversial topics.” (Paragraph 6)

kennedy creates personal credibility by saying he is more than fit to lead. he talks about the sixty day period that he constructed administration, and says based on that he will be an acceptable leader.

jfk has a great reputation as an american citizen. he fought in wwii, and earned the navy and marine corps medal. he saved several men on his pt-109 patrol torpedo boat after an attack by the japanese navy. he also served in congress for the 11th congressional district for massachusetts, and served three terms in the house of representatives.

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
