Summary: It’s JFK's 100 birthday so this American history podcast episode will examine the life and legacy of the nation's 35th President. First, I talk with historian Michael J. Hogan about his book, The Afterlife of John Fitzgerald Kennedy: A Biography. It explains how JFK and his loyalists carefully crafted and preserved an idealized historical image of him. Second, I visit the museum dedicated to the JFK assassination, the 6th Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza to talk to some of the people who visit the site.
