I often think how people view his presidency isn't completely fair considering all the crises he had to deal with in such short period of time, and the fact the Democratic party at the time was extremely fractured.
Anyway, he is a great man and I hope his passing is as painless and peaceful as possible. You can't argue the positive effect his life has had in America and the world. His charitable work extends beyond just the U.S.
An interesting tidbit I read about him before is how when he was younger, like a lot of southerners, he was resistant to civil rights movements and used language that was inappropriate, but he later changed his views and become a champion for civil rights. When he was elected, 4 out of 5 black Americans apparently voted for him. Unfortunately, this made him despised by conservatives and white southerner who viewed him as a traitor.
