On June 11tb, 1963, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy addressed the nation on the most pressing domestic issue of the day; the struggle to affirm civil rights for all Americans. His administration had sent National Guard troops to accompany the first black students admitted to the University Of Mississippi and the University of Alabama. In the speech, Kennedy announced that he would be sending civil rights legislation to Congress; that legislation was passed following his death and signed into law by President Lyndon Baines Johnson.    

Excerpts of speech on civil rights given by President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. 

"It ought to be possible for American students of any color to attend any public institution they select without having to be backed up by troops."     

"It ought to be possible for American consumers of any color to receive equal service in places of public accommodation, such as hotels and restaurants, and theaters and retail stores, without being forced to resort to public demonstrations in the streets, and it ought to be possible for American citizens of any color to register and vote in a free election without interference of fear of reprisal."

"It ought to be possible in short, for every American to enjoy the privileges of being American without regard to his race or his color. In short, every American ought to have the right to be treated as one would wish his children to be treated. But this is not the case. We are confronted primarily with a moral issue. It is as old as the scriptures and is as clear as the American Constitution."  

"Ths heart of the question is whether all Americans are to be afforded equal rights and equal opportunities. If an American because his skin is dark cannot eat lunch in a restaurant open to the public, if he cannot send his children to the best public school available, if he cannot vote for the public officials who represent him, if, in short, he cannot enjoy the full and free life which all of us want, then who among us would be content to have the color of his skin changed and stand in his place?"

"One hundred years of delay have passed since President Lincoln freed the slaves, yet their heirs, their grandsons, are not fully free. 

"Those who do nothing are inviting shame as well as violence.
Those who act boldly are recognizing right as well as reality." 

President John Fitzgerald Kennedy

October 1, 1962-May 22, 1992. Johnny Carson, host of NBC's network late-night "Tonight Show" reigned for 30 unprecedented years...five times the combined tenure of Steve Allen, and Jack Paar. Carson was impervious to competition, including efforts to dethrone him by Les Crane, Joey Bishop, Merv Griffin, Dick Cavett, Jack Paar, Pat Sajak, Joan Rivers, and Arsenio Hall. Sadly, very few complete "Tonight Show" broadcasts survive during Johnny Carson's first ten years of broadcasting. Around 1965, through the early 1970's, oldest tapes were first erased systematically by orders from myopic NBC executives, to be recycled for purposes of saving money. Ironically, in many cases, these older master tapes were too brittle, and portended probable drop-outs for re-use after being erased. Subsequently blank after being erased, these older questionable master 2" Quad tapes were either sparingly used or never used again for recording new programming and eventually were discarded. Saving thousands of dollars at the time (wiping master tapes for potential re-use) resulted in losing millions of dollars by NBC in today's marketplace, and more importantly wiping thousands of historic TONIGHT SHOW broadcasts, which contain precious personal anecdotes from political, show business, and sports icons of the past.
  
  

A Special telecast tonight for the motion picture premiere on Broadway at the Rivoli theater of "CLEOPATRA" with  Bert Parks live at the theater interviewing celebrities in the lobby as they enter the theater with cut-aways to Johnny Carson in Studio 6B, who interacts with those being interviewed.   

NOTE: There is much humor happening during this remote pick-up as celebrities get out of their cars at the curb and  they are stopped for photographs by some 500 photographers at the premiere. Local TV Station WPIX Channel 11 in New York City has first opportunities to interview celebrities on the outside, delaying Bert to do his interviews in the lobby. At times Bert frantically calls out to them and there is much humor exchanged between Parks and Johnny Carson who watches, and comments.

After the remote interviews Roddy McDowall joins Johnny in the NBC Tonight Show studio and discuses photographs he took on the set of CLOEPATRA, including those of Elizabeth Taylor getting made up for her role.   

NOTE: At one point Johnny Carson, breaking up with laughter says: "I want a copy of this show." 
Ironically, this broadcast  was wiped (erased) and is one of the thousands of "lost" TONIGHT SHOW broadcasts never saved/archived during the first ten years of  broadcasting.

On June 12th, 1963, civil rights activist Medgar Evers was shot to death by a lone assassin, Byron De La Beckwith. Evers, a decorated US Army combat veteran who had served in WW II, was engaged in efforts to overturn segregation at the University  of Mississippi, end the segregation of public facilities, and expand opportunities for African Americans including the enforcement of voting rights.     
Evers became active in the civil rights movement in the 1950s. In 1963, he was awarded the NAACP Springarn Medal. 
On June 12th, 1963, Evers was murdered at his home in Jackson, Mississippi by Byron De La Beckwith. De La Beckwith was a member of the White Citizens Council in Jackson. This group was formed in 1954 to resist integration of schools and civil rights activism. Evers was buried with full military honors at Arlington National  Cemetery. Although all-white juries failed to reach verdicts in Beckwith's first two trials, he was convicted of the murder in 1994 based on new evidence.                                                  

Broadcast at 11:15pm  preceding THE TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JOHNNY CARSON, NBC correspondent, Edwin Newman reports on the premiere of CLEOPATRA. At the Rivoli theater in New York City  NBC TV reporter, Dan Rabel  interviews Roddy McDowall, Joseph Mankiewicz and 20th Century head Spyros Skouras who claims CLEOPATRA  will be the greatest film in  motion picture history. NY Times film critic Leonard Probst gives his review of the film. 
In addition, we hear a three minute incisive review from New York Herald Tribune film critic, Judith Crist who would soon begin appearing on THE TODAY SHOW (1964-1973), reviewing films.. 

NOTE: Probst, who joined NBC NEWS in 1958, was one of the first drama critics to present opening-night reviews on television as an integral part of the news report. He served as a television drama critic until 1971, continuing his reviews on radio afterward.     

NOTE:  Film critic Judith Crist gives a scathing review about CLEOPATRA.                                       

The tenth inning of the Oriole-Yankee game from Yankee Stadium is heard. Roger Maris drives home Bobby Richardson in the bottom of the tenth inning giving the Yankees a 3-2 10 inning win.
