Course Description

Political power is created in many ways, such as winning an election, facing down an enemy, or skillfully riding the waves of popular opinion. This class will examine the multi-faceted, political and social legacies of John F. Kennedy, along with the other nine occupants of the Oval Office since. Students will learn why and how political legacies are formed; how such influence persists; and whether/how it is will continue.
