John Fitzgerald Kennedy(May 29,1917 - November 22,1963),he was the 35th president of the United States,serving from 1961 until his assassination on November 22,1963, in Dallas,Texas.

• Kennedy was the second youngest president (after Theodore Roosevelt.)
• He was the only Catholic,and the first Irish American,president.
• He was the only president to have win a Pulitzer Prize.

From the first moments of his presidency,Kennedy evoked a sense of security and a spirit of idealism which reassured Americans of their nation's strengths and inspired them to serve their country and the world.

"And so my fellow Americans : ask not what your country can do for you ; ask what you can do for your country.My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you,but what together we can do for the freedom of man."

 Kennedy said in his inaugural address.

A self -proclaimed supporter of civil rights,he moved forward slowly on the issue until 1963.
The popular legend of John F. Kennedy superseded reality ; he made a singular,seemingly indelible impression  upon the American scene.
