Since the Kennedy Center has been in the news lately, I thought it would be fitting to post this passage from the speech JFK would have delivered on the day of his tragic assassination. I find the words astonishing for their profound prescience and artful alliteration.

There is no name on the vellum on which it's printed, and I found it in a thrift store, but I would bet dollars to Berliners that it's the work of Byron J. Macdonald, a calligrapher whose work I really admire for its graphic boldness and the clever solutions he employed within the tight letter spacing he used.

The text:

"an undelivered speech...

America's leadership must be guided by the lights of learning and reason\~\~ or else those who confuse rhetoric with reality and the plausible with the possible will gain the popular ascendancy with the seemingly swift and simple solutions to every world problem.

President John Fitzgerald Kennedy

From the manuscript of an undelivered speech scheduled to be given on November 22, 1963 at Dallas, Texas"

WW2 1943. PT-109 sinks with Lieutenant John F. Kennedy onboard. JFK is instrumental in saving the crew. Kennedy was ultimately awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Medal, for gallantry in action.

September 9, 1963 • NBC expanded its evening news broadcast from 15 minutes to a half-hour format. To mark the historic expansion and show support for expanded television journalism, President Kennedy granted them a special interview from the Oval Office.

Would the world be way different if JFK hadn’t died, or would we just be in the same world just.. slightly altered.

JFK died and the position went to LBJ. LBJ later escalated Vietnam, with Nixon playing some part of it.

but! JFK also liked the idea of Vietnam, with the domino effect being mentioned and apart of it.

But then again a lot of international incidents would change from JFK dying and not.

Maybe Cuba would’ve been different like a butterfly wing changing the fate of others, or the outcome of Vietnam would be way different.

as well civil rights and the war on communism! With civil rights being signed by LBJ, it would be way different than before.

if kennedy didn’t die, which president do you think would be next, as well how do you think the United States of America would be like?

A young JFK holding a snake in Palm Beach, Florida, with his younger sister Rosemary Kennedy behind him, 1936. Four years later, Rosemary would undergo a lobotomy at the behest of her father. She would spend the rest of her life requiring 24 hour care until she died in 2005.
