Better Communities

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.
