Joe and Rose Kennedy: Their Extraordinary Family
Joe and Rose Kennedy: Their Extraordinary Family
Joe and Rose Kennedy raised one of the most significant families in US history. The family included a President, two US Senators, an Ambassador to Japan, and the founder of the Special Olympics.
Go back to 1961 and interact with Joe and Rose Kennedy. Learn how they accumulated wealth and inspired their descendants to choose lives of public service. Hear about Joe Kennedy’s careers as a bank executive, movie producer, chairman of two Federal commissions, and Ambassador to England. Learn about Rose’s devotion to her children and her contributions to their character development. Hear them discuss their children’s early lives and find out how these parents later coped with several tragedies in the lives of their children.
This 75-minute presentation is interactive, authentic historically, and is presented with a keen sense of humor.
