Kennedy Library Forums are a series of public affairs programs offered by the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum to foster public discussion on a diverse range of historical, political and cultural topics reflecting the legacy of President and Mrs. Kennedy's White House years. They are conducted as conversations rather than lectures. Check this website periodically to view our Forum line-up, and review our prior years' events.
To view videos or read transcripts from past forums, select a year or All Forums from the pull down menu. Click here to sign up for JFK eNews and begin receiving periodic email alerts about upcoming forums and special exhibits.
