American Visionary: John F. Kennedy’s Life and Times

(Wednesday) (Sunday)

President John F. Kennedy’s administration coincided with a golden age of photojournalism in America. No single politician was photographed more than Kennedy—from his first congressional bid as a decorated war hero in 1946, his fairytale marriage to Jacqueline Bouvier in 1953, his run for the White House in 1960 and role as commander in chief, to the tragedy of his death in Dallas in 1963.President John F.

Kennedy’s greatest speeches alongside essays by historians, leading political thinkers, writers, and artists.
