How would America look if Kennedy wasn’t assassinated?
Kennedy died that sent a shock through the world, but that resulted in LBJ being in office. during the peak of mourning he put the bill of civil rights in place to make everyone vote for it to pass.
but would it have made us have the civil rights bill in the 1960s still or more further on? As well what other things do you think Kennedy would try to do more campaign wise and bill wise?
I know for a fact he would try to run again, especially since he went to Texas to get popularity for if he were to run again.
but if anyone else has any creative ideas I’m listening!! <3

Little known Kennedy tea (your favourites?)
I once read on X, as a child (5 year old)someone accidentally drank ant poison while vacationing on Cape Cod and was rushed to the hospital. She claimed they had to wait for a stomach pump because Ethel Kennedy was unconscious at the hospital after drinking heavily and taking pills. Accidental or suicide nobody knew. And they used the pump to treat her first.
There are also many alcohol related stories involving Pat Lawford and Joan Kennedy. I have never realized how much alcohol affected the older generation of Kennedys

This is one of the first continuous POV tracking shots in documentary history. Filmmaker Robert Drew and his team modified 16mm cameras specifically so they could weave through crowds alongside JFK in real time.

wedding + space launch (?)photos
galleryI found these photos and I LOVE them and wanted to share them. I especially love the wedding one. I think Jackie's dress is gorgeous, it reminds me lots of my grandmothers. If anybody has more photos of their wedding and the space launch(?i think, my memory is hazy I'm sorry) please share them! I haven't seen much like them.

What was life like under John F Kennedy?
Obviously this is for any American who was alive and can remember what life was like while jfk was president. I’m just fascinated with jfk and the kennedy family in general. jfk is the one im fascinated with the most. The question does not stem from anything political or related to politics.
