Robert Cilek "President Calling" JFK with Gov. Barnett

after listening to the phone conversations between Gov. Ross Barnett and JFK, i was able to clearly see the amount of racial tension in america at that time especially in the south. the main part of the conversation that interested me and almost made me laugh at the governor was when he didnt want to let an african american into Ole Miss though he just served for the United States in WW2. on the other hand, JFK is the exact opposite of Gov. Barnett in the sense that he didnt believe in racism and segregation and believed in equality and oppurtunity for all which made conversations between the two almost pointless because both men had opposite ideals causing them to have trouble working together and never being able to work anything out.
