Summary: In 1961, world-renowned photographer Richard Avedon took some intimate and illuminating images of the Kennedy family on the eve of John F. Kennedy’s inauguration, only six of which have ever been seen. The National Constitution Center welcomes Shannon Thomas Perich, author of the new book The Kennedys: Portrait of a Family, to reveal the photographs never seen outside the Smithsonian collection and to share the story of a First Family on the brink of history. Dr. Myra Gutin, an expert on the history of first ladies, moderates the conversation. Program recorded on 10/30/2007. Questions or comments? Write: programs@constitutioncenter.org
