Atlanta’s Bridge Between Signatures, Stories, and Legends

John F. Kennedy was the 35th President of the United States and became a symbol of youthful leadership and national optimism. He championed for public service, civil rights progress, and bold goals like the mission to reach the moon. His legacy continues to inspire leaders who believe in courage, vision, and collectively responsibility.

While delivering his inaugural address as the 35th President of the United States on January 20, 1961, “John F. Kennedy asks of us, ‘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.’ ” 

November is a month to celebrate and reflect on the legacy and contributions of  John F. Kennedy.   His inaugural questions are relevant today as they were fifty-six years ago.  Perhaps if communities are fabrics, then humans are designers.  Each designer uses variations for the freedom of man, including equality and dignity.
