A new exhibition commemorating President John F. Kennedy’s life and work is now on view at the Smithsonian American Art Museum through September 17, 2017. American Visionary: John F. Kennedy’s Life and Times brings together images from the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library, the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation, Getty Images, private collections and the Kennedy family archives that capture the dramatic scope of Kennedy’s life. The exhibition is one of the most exhaustively researched collections of Kennedy photos ever assembled. It's based on the forthcoming book JFK: A Vision for America and kicks off the nationwide celebration that commemorates Kennedy’s centennial year. The book presents Kennedy at his best - thought-provoking, eloquent and wise - on a number of topics, including civil rights, the race to the moon, immigration, the Cuban Missile Crisis and more. JFK demonstrates the deep relevance of his words today and his lasting power and influence as an American leader and orator. Contributors include Rep. John Lewis, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the Dalai Lama, Robert Redford, Henry Louis Gates Jr., and Kofi Annan among many others. Edited by Smith and Douglas Brinkley, professor of history at Rice University; it is available at the museum store. |
