JFK Speaks
Almost 60 years ago, President Kennedy rallied the nation around The New Frontier – a vision of new hope and opportunity that challenged every citizen to work together to move our nation forward.
The New Frontier led America to a higher minimum wage and landmark civil rights legislation. Environmental protections and better healthcare for senior citizens. The Peace Corps and a path to the Moon. Learn more about President Kennedy's vision for the New Frontier.
Today, we stand on the edge of a New New Frontier. Another moment in time when we have the chance to decide how we move forward as a nation.
What will we bring to the New New Frontier? What are we capable of achieving when we work together as a nation—when we commit ourselves to solving problems both big and small?
This is a chance for us all to begin anew. As President Kennedy said, the opportunity is in “your hands.”
