appointing African Americans to government positions.
President Kennedy most contributed to the civil rights movement by appointing African Americans to government positions. President Kennedy supported the civil rights of African Americans and even proposed a national civil rights law. The Peace Corps was a program he established to help other nations.
The correct answer is the following: option A. President Kennedy most contributed to the civil rights movement by appointing African-Americans to government positions. By the 1960 presidential campaign, the civil rights had emerged as a crucial issue for all Americans. President Kennedy was voted by more than 70% of African-American voters, and his office was well aware of the high hopes that that community was putting upon the new President.
President Kennedy appointed a, previously unprecedented, number of African-Americans to high level positions in the administration. As a result of this action, the government's offices across the country had a wider representation of the different communities and races that conform the American society.
