Answer:

Martin Luther King, Jr. was a social activist and Baptist minister who played a key role in the American civil rights movement from the mid-1950s until his assassination in 1968. King sought equality and human rights for African Americans, the economically disadvantaged and all victims of injustice through peaceful protest. He was the driving force behind watershed events such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the 1963 March on Washington, which helped bring about such landmark legislation as the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act. King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 and is remembered each year on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, a U.S. federal holiday since 1986.

Does Lewis think that JFK has been supportive of the civil rights movement?
Serhud [2]
I'm going to suppose that your reference point is the "We Must Free Ourselves" speech given by John Lewis in 1963 at the March on Washington.  The simple answer to the question is that Lewis did not think President Kennedy and the federal government had given genuine support to the civil rights movement.  Lewis was even forced by the Kennedy administration to edit his speech because the initial draft was so strongly critical of the administration.  Let me quote you a section from the draft of the speech that Lewis was pressured to drop before actually giving the speech.

Mr. Kennedy is trying to take the revolution out of the street and put it in the courts.  Listen, Mr. Kennedy, listen, Mr. congressman, listen fellow citizens, the black masses are on the march for jobs and freedom, and we must say to the politicians that there won’t be a “cooling-off” period.  <span>We won’t stop now.

In the speech which Lewis did give, he pointed criticism at JFK in a less direct way, saying that the party of Kennedy was the also the party of Eastland.  James Eastland was a Democratic senator from Mississippi who was staunchly opposed to the civil rights movement. 

John Lewis called on black citizens to stand up for their own rights, because the political leaders could not (and some would not) do so for them.

Why was the freedmen's bureau established​
In-s [12.5K]
It was created to take charge of education activities. Whether it were to freedmen or refugees. These issues were under things such as clothes and medication. This was also good for african americans because they had rights they were denied when slaves. Such as social service , violence and justice, labor and contracts, and family services.
