35th President

I chose to do my blog on John Fitzgerald Kennedy. He was the 35th president of the United States and born on November 22, 1963. He was the youngest man elected to be President, as well as the youngest to die. He was also the first Roman Catholic President.

He responded to demands by Americans all over, and even took action in dealing
with equal rights, calling for a new civil rights legislation. He was even held against his religion from other people in not wanting to vote for him, but made it clear that he did not speak of his church on public matters, but rather as a Democratic Candidate. Kennedy was also able to ask to Congress to make the Peace Corps where Americans would be able to help other nations that were in need of education and other resources. He was an advocate in speaking out for Women and African Americans, later proposing the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
