Based on this quote, kennedy wants southern states to
read this quotation from president kennedy about james
meredith's stance.
set their own rules when it comes to segregation.
follow national law when it comes to segregation.
use the court system if they want to fight the law.
continue to fight against desegregation of schools.
this is as it should be, for our nation is founded on the
principle that observance of the law is the eternal safeguard
of liberty and defiance of the law is the surest road to
tyranny.

university of mississippi,
