John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Thursday, January 18, 2024 | 6:00pm - 7:00pm

Bruce Zellers, Professor - Oakland University

John F. Kennedy has been the most popular United States President, serving from 1961 to 1963. At 43, he is the youngest President elected to the offi ce and also the youngest President to die. His popularity rested on the values and experiences he shared with other Americans of that era; he was a veteran who understood the aspirations of his era. He knew that Americans would respond to the idealism of the Peace Corps, the technical challenges of a moon flight, and ultimately the desire for racial justice.
