JFK’s Legacy
There has been a retrospective view of the Kennedy administration and the charisma and confidence of a man many believed would usher in a new, more forward thinking era not just for American politics but the world as a whole. A new Camelot. JFK was the first president to use the power of television to get his own vision across with iconic speeches.
His inaugural address would give the people of America a taste of what kind of president JFK would be when he famously said, ‘And so my fellow American’s, ask NOT what your country can do for you. Ask what YOU can do for your country.’ In that same address, he spoke to the world by saying, ‘My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.’
