JFK Remebered - 50 Years Later
On November 22, 1963, the 35th president of the United States, John F. Kennedy, was assassinated. Yet 50 years later, he remains as vital and compelling as when we first elected him - the first Irish-Catholic president and the youngest in U.S. history - in November 1960. This unique documentary reacquaints us with images and personalities frozen in time. From John Kennedy's nomination to his election, from his inspiring inaugural address to the Bay of Pigs, from civil rights and racial struggles to space exploration and the astronauts, from the Berlin Wall to his strong leadership during the Cuban Missile Crisis, he ranks among the great presidents in the history of the United States.
