Summary edit

Description

I decided to visit the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library, located on University of Massachusetts - Boston campus.

This piece of the Berlin Wall was received by the Kennedy Library as a gift after the reunification of Germany, and installed as an exhibit in 1993. This display harks to President Kennedy's visit to Berlin Wall in 1963, and the famous "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech. It also harks back to another US Presidential speech at the Berlin Wall: the 1987 "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" speech by President Ronald Reagan.

Every United States President since Hervert Hoover (1929-1933) has had a Presidential Library established after his service. All are run in conjunction with the National Archives, to house various records and documents pertaining to a given president's term(s). The Kennedy Library is the only Presidential library in New England, commemorating the first US President of Irish and/or Roman Catholic background.
