"JFK Remembered," a special program with Tom Brokaw of NBC News and legendary journalist Nick Clooney, will mark the opening of the Newseum's newest exhibit "JFK" and commemorate the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's famous speech "A Strategy of Peace," which was delivered at American University.
Clooney and Brokaw will share their memories of the Kennedy presidency in the program sponsored in partnership with the American University School of Communication. Featured will be archival footage of the 1963 speech.
To mark the 50th anniversary of Kennedy's assassination, the Newseum will feature two new exhibits — "Three Shots Were Fired" and "Creating Camelot" — and an original documentary film chronicling the presidency, family life and death of America's 35th president.
Brokaw spent his entire distinguished journalism career with NBC News beginning in 1966, where he was a White House correspondent, anchor of the "Today" show, and anchor and managing editor of "NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw." He is also the author of three books: "The Greatest Generation," "Boom! Voices of the Sixties" and "The Time of our Lives."
Clooney is the Newseum and American University School of Communication distinguished journalist-in-residence. His career in news spans more than 50 years.
