Curatorial Note:

This photo shows President Kennedy interacting with the crowd and their effort to reach out and touch him. It is a wonderful example of how people responded to him. The diversity of the crowd and the pleasure evident on their faces help us explain Kennedy's charisma to younger, school-age audiences. - Sharron Conrad, Curator of Education
