An Appreciation of the Legacy
of President John F. Kennedy
On November 22, 1963, President John
F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas.
Fifty years later, the nation honors his
memory and the legacy of his 1,000
day presidency. His Pulitzer Prize-
winning book
Profiles in Courage
will be
the basis of film producer and lecturer
Robert Kline’s
two-day appearance at
the Library. The lectures will focus on
Americans who displayed courage in
the public arena, no matter what the
physical, political, or financial cost was
to them. Mr. Kline will conclude the two-
day event focusing upon the unique
psyche of JFK himself as he faced the
challenges of the Cold War.
