First director of the jfk library. He was a member of the Kennedy Administration. It is a special pride that he would share it would glow in him, in his advocacy for the importance of the Kennedy Administration and the many treasures we had inside our building. I love this photograph of the building, it is a nighttime vision. For those who have not yet come to see us, i believe the library is inspirational in and of itself and fitting for the life and times and ideas of an inspirational president , the 35th president , president kennedy. If you are able to come to visit us, you will see this building. We are right on Columbia Point facing towards Boston Harbor and it is a sight that will elevate your thoughts, and as you think about what the nation is all about and your role in it and whether you would answer president kennedys call to service, which he issued in his inaugural address, ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. All of those words re
As demonstrations in the street, what was really important here was that leading u. S. Senators were siding with the antiwar faction, had an amendment to end the war, were appealing to the public and doing it in a very cool and calm and rational and thoughtful way. This was a very important moment for the Antiwar Movement, that it wasnt just in the streets. It was in the senate and the congress as well. You hadnt seen this before.

These are earnest men who are republicans and democrats, moderates and liberals, people who have come to the conclusion that the United States should not be fighting in this war, that tragedy has mounted so much over the years that they have to intervene to stop. And theyre trying to use the legislative branch to bring the war to an end. And in a sense, creating a bit of a constitutional clash with the president of the United States. Its a moving peace and t

I am victoria, the deputy executive director of the eisenhower memorial commission. We are here tonight in washington, d. C. , at the northwest corner of the new president ial memorial for dwight d. Eisenhower. This story starts about a thousand miles west of washington, d. C. , in abilene, kansas. His family moved to abilene, kansas, when he was a toddler, and he stayed there through high school. I want to direct your view to this speech inscribed on this wall. When world war ii ended, eisenhower came home to abilene and was given a heros welcome. In a very humble way, he started talking about not that he was a hero but what he dreamed of doing when he was a young boy. Ended with the proudest thing i can claim is that i am from abilene. That first paragraph of that speech, was a primary inspiration for the designer of the memorial frank gehry. He has expressed here in this statue of Young Eisenhower as a teenage boy sitting on the stone block looking in the direction of two of his gre
