How did the government take steps towards the exercise of civil rights

At the end of 1962, President John F. Kennedy asked his brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy, to compile a report on the Civil Rights enforcement activities of the Justice Department over the previous year. In this report, submitted on January 24, 1963, Robert Kennedy notes “progress” overall, but reminds the President that difficult race problems remain “not only in the South . . . but throughout the country.” Though the year was marked by the deadly riots at the University of Mississippi over the admittance of a black student, Kennedy maintains a sense of optimism and hope for the future. He calls 1962 “a year of great progress in civil rights, in large measure because of the responsibility and respect for law displayed by the great majority of the citizens of the South.” He does not deny, however, that many difficult problems remain, and he cites the disregard of voting rights and regulations in some southern states as a continuing problem desperately in need of reform. Kennedy also notes progress made in African American employment and the desegregation of schools and public transportation. For these gains he credits the increasing cooperation of the southern people and calls this “the emerging spirit of the South.” Evident throughout his report is his faith that the people and the government of the United States will be able to accomplish their objectives through persistence and compassion. The report reflects the true purpose of the Civil Rights Movement: to fight racism and apathy in order to enact positive change and ultimately gain equal rights. Kennedy was correct in believing that the Civil Rights Movement would continue to advance. The landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 outlawed racial discrimination and removed many voting obstacles for African Americans.

What tensions if any between national unity and state sovereignty exist today
zlopas [31]

Anti American protests started in Afghanistan and Iraq, there is a growing debate about the extent to which the United States,United Nations,China  and other international institutions should intervene in the domestic affairs of weak and ineffective states.Non aligned states have expressed fear that military interventions by major power states may become a growing aspect of the post 9/11 world.Relations between the world's most powerful states have become strained over the coercive actions of the US in Afghanistan and Iraq.Same way China has captured Tibet,Hong Kong etc by force.US policy makers have countered that the use of military force as a preemptive measure is a necessity in a world where terrorist threats have overshadowed  concerns of more traditional forms of state violence.
