“it’s admirable that individuals with seemingly minimal artistic skill tried in their own personal ways to respond to the assassination with sculpture” this is such a positive sweet way of looking at the situation 😊

I absolutely adore this presentation. It's so interesting how each item had such a large background and an integral role in the perception of JFK. I love how much people love other people, the segment about how pop culture around the president changed after the assassination as well as the attitude towards his image. That segment definitely made me tear up a little. This video is such a wonderful interpretation of JFK's legacy, deserves a lot more views.
