JFK exhibition goes on permanent display in Sydney
Striking images of the life and legacy of President John Kennedy are now on display in a new permanent exhibition at ACU’s North Sydney campus.
American Visionary: John F. Kennedy’s Life and Times contains 76 photographs covering the life of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, a president distinguished by his youth, his Catholic upbringing, his Cold War impact, and his untimely death.
The exhibition covers Kennedy’s early life, his time in the Senate, his campaign for the presidency, his time in the Oval Office, and his assassination. The exhibition highlights key aspects of Kennedy’s legacy, such as his role in founding the Peace Corps, advancing the US space program, and encouraging the spread of civil society.
