About this listen

 In the second half of the conversation between President John F. Kenny and Civil Rights leaders, A. Phillip Randolph called for a crusade with President Kennedy as its leader. Vice President Johnson explained the realities of political power in Congress and how to craft a coalition of support. And approaches to attracting the support of Former President Dwight Eisenhower were discussed. We pick up the meeting as Roy Wilkins, NAACP Executive Director, presses President Kennedy on who is taking credit for what…and how to leverage that for votes moving forward.
