Essay / Assassination of John F. Kennedy - 2386
People who overcome others make history. Unfortunately, societies easily accept these facts as their absolute truths and never do much to gather more information about different perspectives. Humanity is not just black or white; it is made up of different shades of gray. And this is once again what some have told us about a moment in history: the thirty-fifth president of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, was shot dead on November 22, 1963 at noon, in Dallas , in Texas. There is much more to this than has been officially stated for over fifty years. John F. Kennedy was a Northern politician, a member of the Democratic Party who was elected in the 1961 presidential election. Being the youngest president elected, Kennedy brought with him a spirit of change and progress. However, the turbulent circumstances of the time made him gather many powerful enemies. Just months after taking office, he allowed the military to invade Cuba and bring down Castro. Unfortunately, the Cubans were prepared and quickly chased the Americans away. This event became known as The Bay of Pigs. At the same time, the United States was involved in the Cold War, a state of political tension, particularly with the USSR, which produced several dangerous consequences such as the construction of the Berlin Wall and the Cuban Missile Crisis, a confrontation that could have led to nuclear war. . Thanks to the timely involvement of the United Nations, the Kremlin agreed to dismantle its missile station in Cuba if the White House removed its missile station from Turkey, and promised never to attempt to invade Cuba again. In addition to this, the African-American rights movement was taking place within the American nation. Kennedy became... middle of paper... society as a whole. Kennedy was a victim of his own government. This conspiracy and then this cover-up meant that most of the government must be corrupt. I leave you with my findings, and my own opinion on the subject. This is not an absolute truth, it could have happened this way or it could have happened another way. However, take a stand on the issue. Talk about it. As Russian poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko once said: “When truth is replaced by silence, silence is a lie.” » People have the right to know. Fifty years have passed since the people's president was taken away from them without any logical explanation. This cannot happen again. Look deeper and help us find the way out of this dark and unclear tunnel. As history professor Aaron Rumpza says, “With people’s cooperation, the truth might be obtained at some point.” It must be like this.”.
