President John F. Kennedy and Matthew 25

We preach freedom around the world, and we mean it. And we cherish our freedom here at home. But are we to say to the world-and much more importantly, to each other-that this is the land of the free, except for Negroes, that we have no second-class citizens, except Negroes, that we have no class or caste system, no ghettos, no master race, except with respect to Negroes!
Now the time has come for this nation to fulfill its promise. 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....We face, therefore, a moral crisis as a country and a people...A great change is at hand, and our task, our obligation, is to make that revolution, that change, peaceful and constructive for all.

The above excerpts were from a major civil rights speech given by President Kennedy on national tv. They are words Jesus would certainly have approved based on Matthew 25.
