On September 17, 1960, Sen. John F. Kennedy, the Democratic nominee for president, flew to Greenville for a campaign rally on the campus of East Carolina College. Kennedy’s ECC rally was part of a marathon daylong blitz that continued statewide through Greensboro and Charlotte. The campaign intended to go as far west as Asheville but due to inclement weather concluded with dinner at the governor’s mansion in Raleigh and a rally at Reynolds Coliseum. With photographs as key primary sources, John F. Kennedy’s North Carolina Campaign explores what happened that day, why it happened, and its significance in North Carolina’s political history. While the book focuses on the East Carolina College rally, which was the first of the day, Kennedy’s subsequent rallies ultimately bore statewide and national significance, making it impossible to examine only one stop without contextualizing it in relation to the remainder.

"'Mr. Nixon, what is the truth? Can we continue to have peace while Khrushchev is trying to stir up the whole world against us?' Richard M. Nixon: 'Well, the truth is that we must continue to have peace, and we can if we continue to show firmness and strength to the communist world. Khrushchev is a cold, hard, ruthless man. He feeds upon weakness and doubt, and we must never make the mistake of letting him think we are weak. We must show him we are strong economically and militarily; that we will not be coerced; that we will not tolerate being pushed around. We must continue to deal with communism and the Soviet leaders not belligerently, but firmly, and always with vigilance.' Vote for Nixon and Lodge, November 8th. They understand what peace demands."
