President John F. Kennedy believed that one day this country would live up to its promise of justice and equal rights for all. For those beliefs and for his sacrifice, Congress voted to make The Kennedy Center a living memorial to him, as a place built by the people for the people to celebrate what connects us.ย
While this trespass on the Peopleโs will is painful, President Kennedy would remind us that it is not buildings that define the greatness of a nation. It is the actions of its people and its leaders.ย
So, do not be distracted from what this Administration is actually trying to erase: our connection, our community, and our commitment to the rights of all.
