IN JFK WE SHOULD TRUST SAYS ELEANOR ROOSEVELT
Castine, Maine* (JFK+50) On November 10, 1960, the day following the declaration of the winner of the presidential election, Eleanor Roosevelt wrote in her "My Day" column that Americans must trust their new President-elect, Senator John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts.
Mrs. Roosevelt writes...
"We, in the United States are the leaders, & if we have courage to face the world situation--to trust a President who wants to give us at home a better life but knows that this can only be valid if at the same time we meet the Communist challenge--then we may be able to save ourselves & the world.
The President-elect will need all the youth & energy & health...to meet the problems & I think Mr. Kennedy will be able to carry out his pledge to 'the long range interests of the United States & the cause of freedom around the world.'"
*Castine, located in south central Maine on the Penobscot Bay, is the home of the Marine Maritime Academy which trains officers for the US Merchant Marine & was established in 1941.
