In the 1960s, President Kennedy and Vice President Richard Nixon used the emerging medium of television to get their political messages through to voters. Today, thanks to the internet and social media, campaigns can reach out to voters in very specific ways…and not always for the better.

About us
The primary mission of the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation is to support the work of the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum whose core function is to collect, preserve, and make available for research the documents, audiovisual material and memorabilia of President Kennedy, his family, and his contemporaries. The Foundation, representing a wide variety of constituencies within the general public, works closely with the National Archives and Records Administration to develop programs that advance the study and understanding of President Kennedy’s life and the times in which he lived; and that promote a greater appreciation of America’s political and cultural heritage, the process of governing, and the importance of public service. In addition to its support of the JFK Presidential Library, the Foundation directly sponsors programs and activities that help people understand the major challenges facing democracy today; that inspire current and future generations to political participation and public service; and that promote debate and discussion of issues at the heart of contemporary democracy that relate to the legacy of President John F. Kennedy.

All of us at the JFK Library and Foundation are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Ethel Kennedy. Years ago, I had the privilege of working with Mrs. Kennedy at the institution she dedicated much of her life to, the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights. Witnessing her patriotism, service, commitment to justice, and deep faith was one of the formative experiences of my life. Her legacy will live on in the countless lives she quietly improved and the many disenfranchised people she gave voice to throughout her remarkable life of service. Our thoughts are with her family and all who loved her. - Rachel Flor, Executive Director of the JFK Library Foundation
