About

John F. Kennedy (JFK) was the 35th President of the United States. He is the namesake of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. JFK is newsworthy due to recent controversies surrounding the Kennedy Center and the death of his granddaughter. The Kennedy Center's head recently stepped down after a tumultuous year, and the center is slated for a two-year renovation. President Trump's name has been added to the exterior, and the board voted to rename the center after Trump, sparking outrage from Kennedy's relatives. Additionally, JFK's granddaughter, Tatiana Schlossberg, recently passed away after a battle with a rare form of leukemia. These events highlight JFK's enduring legacy and the ongoing debates surrounding his namesake institution.
