In this excerpt from president kennedy's 1963 civil rights address, he included the examples of equal service and voting for what purpose?

"it ought to be possible for american consumers of any color to receive equal service in places of public accommodation, such as hotels and restaurants and theaters and retail stores, without being forced to resort to demonstrations in the street, and it ought to be possible for american citizens of any color to register and to vote in a free election without interference or fear of reprisal. it ought to be possible, in short, for every american to enjoy the privileges of being american without regard to his race or his color."

At the time of Kennedy's presidency no one was still very nice to the Africans. The time of the Civil Rights movement was about to be at its peak and when when Kennedy did this speech he said it as in a way to say, "Hey, no matter what heritage you belong to or what your skin tone is, we should all be friendly to each other and help each other out." That was his way of asking for equality and the peace for the Africans. He wanted them to have the same rights as the white men had at the time. "Without regard to his race or color" meant that everyone that was different should still be together and not worry about that because it did not matter as long as they all agreed in a uniform idea that would be the best for the country and its people.
