The building is dedicated to the memory of President Kennedy and designed by I.M. Pei .
“When Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis sought the perfect location for the JFK presidential library, she looked to the sea that President Kennedy loved so well. This site on Dorchester Bay encompasses a 9.5 acre park, landscaped with pine trees, shrubs, and wild roses reminiscent of the Cape Cod landscape familiar to President Kennedy.” John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum
“Poetry and Power” – The Inaugural Address of John F Kennedy
“Assuming office in the midst of the Cold War, JFK understood that his inaugural address would have to instill confidence at home and respect abroad. He believed that democracy thrives only when citizens contribute their talents to the common good, and that is up to leaders to inspire citizens to acts of sacrifice. And when he exhorted people to “ask not what your country can do for you,” he appealed to their noblest instincts, voice a message that Americans were eager to hear.
The speech was crafted by JFK and Theodore C. Sorensen, one of Kennedy’s closest advisers. With a longstanding working relationship dating from JFK’s days in the Senate, Kennedy and Sorensen shared a unique synchronization in their way of thinking. The inaugural address and other hallmark Kennedy speeches were the products of that historic collaboration of two men who believed in the power of words.” John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum
“ ’The president, Kennedy believed, “must serve as a catalyst, an energizer, the defender of the publice good against all the narrow private interests which operate in our society.’ ”

“John F. Kennedy Becomes The 35th President of the United States
John F. Kennedy was sworn in as the 35th president on January 20, 1961. In his inaugural speech he spoke of the need for all Americans to be active citizens. "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country," he said.

The White House also seemed like a fun place because of the Kennedys’ two young children, Caroline and John-John. There was a pre-school, a swimming pool, and a tree-house outside on the White House lawn. President Kennedy was probably the busiest man in the country, but he still found time to laugh and play with his children.

One of the first things President Kennedy did was to create the Peace Corps. President Kennedy was also eager for the United States to lead the way in exploring space.
President Kennedy had to deal with many serious problems here in the United States. The biggest problem of all was racial discrimination.
Martin Luther King Jr. was one of the famous leaders of the movement for civil rights. Many civil rights leaders didn’t think President Kennedy was supportive enough of their efforts. The President believed that holding public protests would only anger many white people and make it even more difficult to convince the members of Congress who didn't agree with him to pass civil rights laws. By June 11, 1963, however, President Kennedy decided that the time had come to take stronger action to help the civil rights struggle. He proposed a new Civil Rights bill to the Congress, and he went on television asking Americans to end racism. "One hundred years of delay have passed since President Lincoln freed the slaves, yet their heirs, their grandsons, are not fully free," he said. "This Nation was founded by men of many nations and backgrounds…[and] on the principle that all men are created equal." President Kennedy made it clear that all Americans, regardless of their skin color, should enjoy a good and happy life in the United States. “
