Add to SetSummary
John F. Kennedy won the 1960 presidential election by a razor-thin margin, but after taking office he received the support of most Americans. Standing on the Capitol steps on the cold morning of January 20, 1961, with supporters proudly waving pennants like this, Kennedy was sworn in as President and delivered what has come to be considered a classic Inaugural Address.
