Boston Hotels for Disabled

John F. Kennedy. In a small distance from Boston there is Brooklyn, the motherland of John F. Kennedy. In Boston one can visit John F. Kennedy Museum that is devoted to the life and heritage of the 35th president of the USA. The excursion there starts with a 15-minute video, in which Mr. Kennedy himself tells about his childhood, school years, the war and his political career. The exposition opens with the narration about the president election of 1960, during which votes for Kennedy prevailed with a minimal advantage.

More than that, there one can see Kennedy during the debates with Nixson (he was his main opponent) and also listen to his inaugural speech. Well-known phrase 'Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country' comes from this very speech. In the museum you can learn about the crises that took place while Kennedy was president: the Cuban Missile Crisis, the African American Civil Rights Movement and the Kennedy's visit to Berlin to the place, where the Berlin Wall had been just built. The exhibition ends with the dark room, where one can hear the sounds of shots that killed the president.
