John F. Kennedy (b. May 29, 1917; d. November 22, 1963) was the 35th President of the United States. After serving in the Navy during WWII, his political ambitions took him to Congress and then the Senate. In 1960, Kennedy ran for president and was sworn into office in 1961. He championed human rights and was vigorous in his pursuit of civil rights legislation. However, his term was cut short when he was assassinated in Texas in 1963. In 1953, the same year as his marriage to Jackie, Kennedy lived here at 3321 Dent Place NW, two blocks from the Georgetown Visitation Prep School in upper Georgetown.
