Under the protection of the CIA in the shadows of a secret plan, a presidential assassination plot is born. When someone succeeds a thing as dolorous in their mind such as killing the president of the United States, they want the world to know that they did it. Oswald did the opposite. After the assassination Bobby sets his mind to Carlos Marcello of New Orleans, he was the Godfather of Godfathers. After being deported to Guatemala Bobby gets back to the US to get rid of Bobby.
Aside from all of those events, Kennedy’s presidency is more famed for the Cuban Missile Crisis and The Bay of Pigs. The Bay of Pigs is where JFK ruined his reputation with most Americans. JFK’s determination towards world peace and trying to solve confrontation by leaving weapons and war out of the equation I believe was that main cause of his assassination. I believe that he was trying to lead by example by not promoting weapons, fighting, and war; trying to find another way to work through it. I think JFK was a noble President due to the fact that he did what he believed and did not follow by the opinions of others, although it was cause his

Meanwhile, SNCC brought together like-minded students. Ella Baker, also a director of SCLC, started this organization along with student activists after the highly publicized and successful Greensboro sit-in in 1961. The SNCC gathered many whites and blacks and traveled North to South to protest in support of the civil rights cause. The SNCC ideas of a very successful strategy and tactic were to organize sit-ins, boycotts, and other protests across the country to end segregation in public places such as restaurants, public transportation, and schools (Janken).

On November 22, 1963 John F. Kennedy as the thirty-fifth President of the United States was assassinated. To this day the American people are left with suspicious gaps toward the government explanation of his death and questions are still arise as to who was actually responsible for the assassination. A theory that has aroused is that the CIA and the FBI were linked to the assassination. Although it is a bit extreme to consider that the government would kill its own president, there are a considerable amount of reasons for their desire to organize an assassination plot. The Bay of Pigs is believed to be the central cause to plot against kennedy.
I chose the Kennedy Assassination to research. I find the assassination of former President Kennedy very intriguing. According to the author of the article I read, the President along with his wife, the governor of Texas and two secret service agents were in the vehicle that day. President Kennedy was hit with the first of three believed shots that were fired at him, hitting him in the head and causing brain matter to leave his skull.

Black Americans were subjected to segregation. The ‘Jim Crow’ laws meant that they had to use separate diners, separate schools and separate transport. This was
Yet again, serious violence developed at the hands of white racists. In response to this, Johnson introduced a further Civil Rights reform. In August 1965, the Voting Rights Act became law, removing all barriers which prevented black Americans from registering as voters. Results The non-violent campaigns of the Civil Rights movement during the 1950s and early to mid-1960s achieved notable successes.
