BOSTON: There’s no shortage of places for people to share memories of where they were 50 years ago when they found out John F. Kennedy had been assassinated.
But a new website debuting Monday aims to take the focus from past to future by asking people of all ages — even those who weren’t alive when Kennedy died — to share their thoughts about how he has inspired them.
The website is part of the JFK Library and Museum’s commemoration of the 50th anniversary of JFK’s death, which is Friday.
The museum also plans an exhibit of never-before-displayed items from his three-day state funeral, including the flag that draped his casket and notes written by First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy. Visitors to the “An Idea Lives On” site can explore an interactive video that includes NASA Commander Chris Cassidy, comedian Conan O’Brien and others talking about Kennedy’s lasting impact.
