JFK "Jack" Kennedy turned 43 on May 29, 1960. He was in the very midst of 1960 campaign to win the Democratic Party presidential nomination. His principle rivals were Hubert Humphrey, Wayne Morse and Lyndon B. Johnson.
Kennedy clinched the nomination at the Democratic Convention in Los Angeles on July 13. 1960. Significant issues going into the general election were the economy, the space race, Cuba, and Kennedy's Catholic religion. (see video clip below...)
John F. Kennedy symbolizes the yearning for change that gripped a generation in the early 1960's. He, his brothers, and the political movement they represented will figure prominently throughout this decade of change.
Happy Birthday Jack!
