President Kennedy speaks from his White House office shortly after he had federalized the Alabama National Guard to enforce integration at the University of Alabama. “Now the time has come for this nation to fulfill its promises,” he says. :The events in Birmingham and elsewhere have so increased the cries for equality that no city or state or legislative body can prudently choose to ignore them.” Jim Snyder, announcer.
