A Photographic Look at the Presidency Of JFK

John F. Kennedy

Today, The Big Picture devotes its post to the presidency of John F. Kennedy. He was elected 50 years ago this month. I figured the history geeks out there would enjoy taking a look at these photographs.

My personal favorite of the group shows Kennedy talking to the people of Berlin on June 26, 1963. I love the sea of people, and have been trying to figure out what the white stripe on the left side is … a raised platform? US Navy? Nurses? I can’t quite tell.
