Did we expect her to be any different? Of course not! She goes back to the article that she was at because they seem to have the best history details.

Feb. 1, 1960: Lunch Counter Sit-in (Greensboro, North Carolina) - When four African American college students – Ezell A. Blair, Franklin E. McCain, Joseph A. McNeil and David L. Richmond – sit down at a Woolworth’s lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina, and ask for service, they are denied. The young men refuse to leave, leading to a larger six-month protest that results in the desegregation of the lunch counter by that summer. The Greensboro Woolworth’s would close in 1993, and a section of the lunch counter be donated to the Smithsonian.

Oct. 16-28, 1962: Cuban Missile Crisis (Multiple) - When the United States learns that the Soviet Union is building nuclear missile installations 90 miles south of Miami in communist Cuba, the Kennedy administration starts a naval blockade around the island, which is at times tested, and Kennedy demands the removal of the missiles. The standoff is widely considered to be the closest the two nuclear superpowers come to direct military confrontation. Cooler heads prevail. The Soviet Union offers to remove the missiles in exchange for a guarantee that the United States will not invade Cuba. In secret, the administration also agrees to withdraw U.S. missiles from Turkey.

Nov. 22, 1963: JFK Assassinated (Dallas) - As President John F. Kennedy prepares for his re-election bid, he embarks on a multi-state tour starting in September 1963. He is murdered by a sharpshooter’s bullet fired by Lee Harvey Oswald at about 12:30 p.m. as his motorcade passed through Dealey Plaza in Dallas. Oswald himself is murdered two days later by nightclub owner Jack Ruby. ’ (Source) 

Of wow, Tiffi remembers Elsa talking about President Kennedy and how he was assassinated. She was so upset and said that he was her favorite president and he would have done a lot of good things for the country. 

Tiffi gets all teary eyed seeing his picture and reading the phrase that he made famous. Elsa told her all about him. He would have made a big difference if he had lived. Time to go back to her search.
