On January 20, 1961, President Kennedy asked the American people in his inaugural address what they could do for their country. This question of service followed JFK throughout his presidency as he advocated for civil rights, negotiated global threats, and fostered innovation that would take us to the Moon. The issues of the 1960s may feel distant, but we face the same problems: deep divisions and fierce resistance to change. JFK continues to show us today how to meet these problems with courage

On January 20, 1961 John F. Kennedy took the oath of office to become the 35th president of the United States.
