In 1963, President Kennedy gave a speech at American University outlining "a strategy of peace" on how the two superpowers, the U.S. and Soviet Union, could back off the precipice of total nuclear annihilation. In this episode, we look back at the speech with historian Fredrik Logevall and people who were there on campus. We also interview former Secretary of Energy Dr. Ernest Moniz about JFK's legacy when it comes to nuclear arms and national security. We also look at JFK's other legacy of peace with an interview with the 21st Director of the Peace Corps Carol Spahn.
