Artifact Overview

Portraits of slain President John F. Kennedy and former first lady, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis feature prominently among this collage of highlights for the 1960s decade on the cover of Life magazine. Kennedy's portrait juxtaposed next to a photo of the moon pays homage to one of the president's legacies--greatly increasing support for NASA to land a man on the moon.
