JFK Library






Jeremy and I went to the JFK Library with our friend TJ who was visiting Boston and was able to spend some time with us. It was a really cool museum with memorabilia, live footage, and videos that helped demonstrate the impact that JFK had on the US and what his life was like as a politician. Here are some photos:

Jeremy, amazed at the newfangled electronics



Recreation of the setting for the Nixon JFK debate - they had television screens running the debate on a loop



News magazines after the election




This cartoon reminded me of what many have said about Obama today


One of the original spacesuits




A replica of JFK's oval office - the televisions were playing clips of a Civil Rights documentary
