The Legacy Of The Kennedy

John F Kennedy was one of the most loved and remembered presidents in the history of the United States. He did many things to help the country and the American people during his ephemeral presidency. His accomplishments include creating the peace corps, bringing the economy out of a recession, helping the African-American civil rights movement, and passing the Equal Pay Act of 1963.

Sitting in a Lincoln convertible, the Kennedys and Texas Governor John Connally and his wife waved at the astronomically immense and ebullient crowds amassed along the parade route in Dallas, Texas.

Colonel L. Fletcher Prouty, who was a retired Air Force Officer, he served in the Pentagon too. Prouty looked at some old government documents and thinks that some of Kennedy's closet government officials did not agree with Kennedy when they thought he was going to pull troops out of Vietnam, so they got rid of him (McAuliffe 83). Also some scientists that worked with Kennedy after his assassination say that the autopsy photos are wrong (Kallen 88).
