Ninety years ago, this May, John F. Kennedy was born. May 2007 also marks the 50th anniversary of JFK’s receiving the Pulitzer Prize for his book Profiles in Courage. In conjunction with these anniversaries, Cobblestone magazine is devoting its May 2007 issue to the life and legacy of President Kennedy. Topics of featured articles range from his boyhood years and World War II experiences to the trying days of the Cuban Missile Crisis and the excitement of the space race.
A special interview with Caroline Kennedy highlights her father’s legacy including the Profile in Courage Award. Activities include deciphering a page from the President’s daily agenda and how to Plan a Day with the President. The Library’s education staff served as consulting editors for this publication.
