John F Kennedy in Berlin: Revisiting a Momentous Trip

John F. Kennedy in Berlin: Revisiting a Momentous Trip Presented by Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Florida Atlantic University – Jupiter In June 1963, President John F. Kennedy arrived in Berlin, a city dramatically divided by the newly constructed Berlin Wall. Just two years after the Wall’s construction, hundreds of thousands of West Berliners filled the streets to hear the American president affirm his support for a city standing on the front line of the Cold War. Kennedy’s historic visit and powerful speech became one of the defining moments of his presidency. The response was so extraordinary that Kennedy later told his speechwriter, “We will never have another day like this one, as long as we live.” Join German historian Anette Isaacs for a vivid journey back to this unforgettable day, exploring the history, significance, and emotion surrounding Kennedy’s visit and the moment Berlin captured the attention of the world. Join OLLI at FAU Jupiter for a fascinating look at one of the most memorable moments of the Cold War.
