Words Count: @JFKSaid

President Kennedy believed that words - both written and spoken - count: to inspire people, to earn votes, to set goals, to change minds, to move nations. Many of his speeches, written to confront the topics of the day in the early ’60s – civil rights, the environment, freedom of the press, gender equality, science, education, foreign relations, democracy – still hold relevance for our world today.
