7. Question4 Pictured here is President John F. Kennedy. He was the President of the U.S. during the Cuban Missile Crisis, a crucial part of the Cold War in which the Soviet Union attempted to station missiles in Cuba to threaten the U.S. This was a very tense time in the history of the world, due to the advent of nuclear weapons. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 while in a motorcade in Dallas, TX; you can find your next question near the picture of his successor shaking hands with a very well-known black civil rights leader. | Cuban Missile Crisis |

Here, you see Johnson shaking hands with Martin Luther King Jr. after the signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a landmark step in the movement for equality between African-American and White citizens. While they worked together at times on the issues of Civil Rights, they disagreed on what will be pictured in your next clue, a war that would come to define Johnson's presidency.
