During John F. Kennedy's administration several important steps on the way to racial equality were undertaken. His presidency will always be associated with such events as: Freedom Rides of 1961, desegregation of the University of Mississippi in September 1962, demonstrations in Birmingham in the spring of 1963 or the famous March on Washington on August 28, 1963. It is true that John F. Kennedy did not get involved in the protection of civil rights because of moral causes, and certainly, he did not consider it to be his mission. He rather had to face the changes that the US society was undergoing in this field in the early 1960s, changes that dominated his presidency. Numerous black activists criticized Kennedy for his legislative indolence and failing to recognize a moral dimension in the fight for civil rights. However, without the President's support, their efforts aiming at obliterating racial differences would have been useless. Moreover, without John F. Kennedy's involvement, the 1964 Act of Civil Rights, that came into effect during the Johnson administration, would not have been possible.

This case study in the history of sociology describes three main characters of the 1960s, Ferenc Erdei, Sándor Szalai and András Hegedus, as well as their relationships and conflicts with each other. They accomplished the most in the process of the reorganisation of Hungarian sociology, and in the establishment of its first institutional form, the Research Group of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. The aim of the present study is to shed light on the role of human qualities, as important factors of sociology and to decode the motivational patterns that influence the choices between alternative actions in a given historical situation.
