Political violence has no place in our democracy. At this moment and always, the words of our namesake remind us of our shared humanity. "Let us not emphasize all on which we differ but all we have in common." —Then-Senator John F. Kennedy (Harvard University, June 1956) Oh behalf of myself, Chairman David M. Rubenstein, and the Kennedy Center community, may America harness this moment to find unity and peace as we move forward.
Violence in all forms is unacceptable
Unity in a community fosters a sense of belonging, mutual support, and shared progress. It enables individuals to connect, enriching lives with fulfillment and a collective sense of purpose. This foundation of unity is crucial for overcoming challenges and achieving communal well-being.
