Kennedy could not do much for the movement due to his desire to keep his image in front of Southern Democrats and his lack of popular mandate in Congress. There was a groundwork set for the movement, but it had not entered its most energized form. However, when the 1960s hit, there were changes that occurred in the entire setting of the movement. The shift in goals, strategies, and support of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s can be attributed to multiple factors, including the influence of younger, more motivated activists, the increasing influence of media on public
