That's a lot of conjecture on your part. We young people at the time had a lot of faith in Kennedy and the course he was on, especially on dealing with human rights. There was a sense in the air that the world was in for some big changes and Kennedy was a part of it. His assassination was a blow to forward thinking people. His replacement, Johnson had some good motives but didn't really know what was going on.
