“Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.” –John F Kennedy This quote was said by a man who was once someone that the American people would call the 35th President of the United States. John F. Kennedy was a very young President, as well as a very good looking president. Women would swoon over the idea of John F. Kennedy but also be jealous of his wife that he was married to at the time. John F. Kennedy is well known for his affair with Marilyn Monroe the world’s leading bombshell blonde in the 1960’s. This President is also well known for being assassinated in a convertible car while campaigning for the Democratic party. John F. Kennedy’s assassination had shook the United States because Kennedy was said to be a liked …show more content…
Kennedy came to the people with many unanswered questions.
There were questions that were wanted to be answered by the American people right away. The people wanted to know, when did the doctors decide that they needed to give up on saving Kennedy and pronounce his official death? According to the death certificate the doctors had stopped putting forth an effort to save him around 20 minutes after the President had arrived because he was already dead when he arrived. By the time the doctors had stopped they had given it an extra 10 minutes before pronouncing Kennedy dead to speak with Mrs. Kennedy on what she wanted to do. The doctor that had officially claimed Kennedy dead was a man by the name, Doctor Burkley. He had told Kennedy’s wife that John F. Kennedy had suffered a fatal wound and she was lucky to still be alive after what had happened to her husband. The FBI was at the hospital at which Kennedy had been pronounced dead in to start an investigation against the man who had shot Kennedy. When Mrs. Kennedy was told that her husband was now dead the FBI wanted the death certificate to stay sealed away from the public eye while they were looking into what had happened. This would allow for a deeper investigation done by the FBI themselves with no media drama getting out into the public that cannot be controlled.
Once John F. Kennedy was announced dead the Vice President was immediately informed that he was going to be sworn into office.
When they were getting ready to take Oswald to the court trial Jack Ruby somehow got into the police station and he shot Oswald in front of all the police. When Ruby shot Oswald they were not able to push him for questions. When Ruby was in jail, he had died of cancer. They say that he knew that he had the cancer so he shot Oswald got put in jail and died himself. Could of Ruby hired Oswald to shoot the president and not get caught, but he failed his job so Ruby got into the jail and shot him.It was just a crime after a crime. On November 22, 1963 president John F, Kennedy was in a parade going through Dallas, Texas. He was shot and killed in his convertible people watched helplessly. The car rushed to the Parkland Hospital what has been just a few miles away. The doctors tried to save him, but they couldn't within hours the body was flown on Air Force One to the Navy Medical Center in Washington D.C. Americans mourned their president.If they were to to to stay on the first plan and went through main street, he would not of got
Kennedy was assassinated, his successor Lyndon Johnson established a commission to investigate Kennedy’s death which came to be known as the Warren Commission. The Warren Commission conducted a thorough and professional investigation into the responsibility of Lee Harvey Oswald for the assassination, and after a nearly yearlong investigation, the commission concluded that alleged gunman Lee Harvey Oswald had acted alone in assassinating JFK, and that there was no conspiracy involved. Because the commission had excused the possibility of a conspiracy, the Select Committee on Assassinations felt they had failed to adequately investigate the possibility of a conspiracy. However, it is unfair to blame the commission in their decision to ignore the idea of a conspiracy seeing as they did not receive all relevant information that was in the possession of other agencies and departments of the Government. Despite the commission's evidence based conclusion, the report proved controversial and failed to silence conspiracy theories surrounding the
John F. Kennedy was a fantastic president by most accounts, but that does not mean he was without his flaws. He was a good man, with many fans in and out of politics, including one of the authors of Killing Kennedy, Bill O’Reilly. He says, “To them (his family), he was a saint.” (9) his thoughts reflecting those of most
On November 22nd, 1963, President Kennedy had traveled to Dallas, Texas to participate in a motorcade that was traveling to Dealy Plaza. He was sitting with his wife, Jacqueline on the back of a convertible followed by his Vice President, Lyndon Johnson behind him. While he passed the Texas School Book Depository, Lee Harvey Oswald set up a sniper post on the 6th story of the building. Oswald allegedly fired three shots at Kennedy, one missing him and two striking him in the neck and head. Sadly, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy passed away from his gunshot wounds and his Vice President, Lyndon Johnson was sworn into office right away.
JFK was the 35th president at the time when he got shot by Lee Harvey Oswald. The place that he got shot was called the Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas. It was just a normal day and JFK was driving with his wife Jacqueline in an open top convertible. JFK was driving and then all of a sudden, everyone saw a gun shot by Oswald. This all had happened on Friday November 22, in the year of 1963. There was also this guy named Shea standing with his mother Hannah, holding their ice cream from the Dealey Plaza. Their ice cream was starting to melt because they had gotten their ice cream at 11:15 AM.
First It has been revealed that some information regarding the plot of the murder will never be released (Sarah Putt). Next ¨ someone also tipped off a London reporter about ¨big news¨ in the United States 20 minutes before the assassination (Sarah Putt). Robert Rawls told a navy intelligence officer that he overheard someone at a bar bet 100$ on Kennedy's death (Sara Putt). An ex-CIA officer believes the white house and the agency are actually concealing the most important documents (Sarah Putt). The evidence suggests Oswald could have been part of a conspiracy, but the theory has not yet been proven. The second theory is proven by the evidence presented by Sarah Putt which gives a strong case and gives theorists a difficult challenge.
Every choice, every action and every decision we make has a consequence. A couple weeks ago, I read two speeches by the 16th president, who served two terms, and an American politician, who is the brother of John F. Kennedy. The first speech I read was delivered on April 4th in 1968 by Robert F. Kennedy. He spoke about the Assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. that occured in Memphis, Tennessee that same night. The second one was Abraham Lincoln’s Sencond Inaugural Address. Kennedy’s speech occured after Martin Luther King’s Assassination and Lincoln’s happened after he was elected president for a second term. In Robert F. Kennedy’s speech, he mentions race, hatred and the lack of compassion we have for one another. Although, in Abraham Lincoln’s speech, he mentions the tragedy of the American Civil War, the distribution of slaves, and God.
John F. Kennedy may me most memorable for with eloquent speeches. He was a good spokesperson, proving himself right off the bat with his inaugural address in 1961. These speeches instilled support and confidence in the hearts of those who listened. One can see how these feelings might come about in this quote by the President in 1963. "What kind of peace do we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not a peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, the kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope to build a better life for their children-not merely peace for Americans, but peace for all men and women: not merely peace in our time, but peace for all time."

For over a decade the FBI had been operating on its own and without the supervision from the Department of Justice and Kennedy decided to change that. Hoover needed someone to answer to and Robert Kennedy was just the person according to his brother John. John had appointed Robert to Attorney General. The Kennedys did have a good relationship with Hoover in the beginning, but some think that Hoover had been plotting against the administration. The FBI, or in another word, Hoover, felt that Malcolm X and the Nation of Islam remained a threat to national security and tried to get the Kennedy Administration to agree. At first the Department of Justice didn’t see the problem as imminent as Hoover proposed (Carson 27).
