The Supreme Court's prohibition of segregation at public facilities like buses, restaurants, theaters, courtrooms, bathrooms, and beaches was also defied. Kennedy favored desegregation and other civil rights causes, but he generally did not place a high priority on civil rights, especially before 1963. Recognizing that conservative
