On this day in 1963, LBJ addressed the United Nations General Assembly. “We meet in a time of mourning, but in a moment of rededication. My nation has lost a great leader. This organization has lost a great friend. World peace has lost a great champion. But John F. Kennedy was the author of new hope for mankind, hope which was shared by a whole new generation of leaders in every continent, and we must not let grief turn us away from that hope. He never quarreled with the past. He always looked at the future. And our task now is to work for the kind of future in which he so strongly believed. I have come here today to make it unmistakably clear that the assassin’s bullet which took his life did not alter his nation’s purpose.” Full remarks: presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?pid=26432&st=&st1=#ixzz1xDSYM9S4 Full video: https://youtube/watch?v=tYgoTWsOwbU
