Election 2024: Influencing the Election

John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, inspired a generation that transformed America.

Join Matt Porter and Jamie Richardson of the JFK Library Foundation as they dig into the archives at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston and interview their colleagues to get a behind-the-scenes look at JFK's life, legacy, and the era he lived in.
