"Next week I shall ask the Congress of the United States to act, to make a commitment it has not fully made in this century
to the proposition that race has pla in American life or law. The Federal judiciary has upheld that proposition in a
series of forthright cases. The Executive Branch has adopted that proposition in the conduct of its affairs, including the
employment of Federal personnel, the use of Federal facilities, and the sale of federally financed housing. But there are
other necessary measures which only the Congress can provide, and they must be provided at this session. The old code of
equity law under which we live commands for every wrong a remedy, but in too many communities, in too many parts of the
country, wrongs are inflicted on Negro citizens and there are no remedies at law. Unless the Congress acts, their only
remedy is the street." — President John F. Kennedy, Civil Rights Address, June 11, 1963
