Discuss Robert F.Kennedy's mixed record in regard to civil rights.

Correct Answer

Answered by ExamLex AI

Answered by ExamLex AI

Robert F. Kennedy had a mixed record in regard to civil rights. On one hand, he was known for his strong support of civil rights and his efforts to combat racial discrimination. As Attorney General, he worked to enforce desegregation orders and prosecute civil rights violations. He also played a key role in the Freedom Rides and supported the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963. However, Kennedy's record on civil rights was also marked by some shortcomings. He was initially cautious in his approach to civil rights, and some critics argue that he was slow to fully embrace the cause. Additionally, he was criticized for his handling of the Birmingham campaign and his reluctance to support the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Overall, while Kennedy made significant contributions to the civil rights movement, his record is mixed, and he faced criticism for his cautious approach and hesitance to fully commit to the cause.
