“The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. We need men who can dream of things that never were and ask, why not?”
President John F Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas Texas, 22nd November, 1963.
The images of that event captured in Film & Photographs still haunt people to this day and are etched into our individual and collective memories.
Although there were subsequent assassinations, Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F Kennedy in the following years, President John F. Kennedy’s assassination is the most talked about and studied, and without doubt left the biggest scar.
Kennedy’s speeches and actions still inspire to this day, his support of the Civil Rights movement and and his defusing of the Cuban Missile Crisis all inspire, the great “Ich bin ein Berliner” speech, his inauguration speech where he said “Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country” was and still is an inspiration throughout the world.
As we remember the President whose life was an inspiration to us all, collectively we need to dream again, we should ask our political leaders to dream again, and instead of only seeing limitations, ask that one question: “Why not?”
