The inauguration of John F. Kennedy as the 35th President of the United States was held on January 20, 1961.

In his campaign, Kennedy promised to "get the country moving again," a new ideal that comforted many Americans because they found a sense of hope and optimism. 

Kennedy won by a narrow margin in the popular vote and became the youngest man elected President and the first Roman Catholic President. His inaugural address encompassed the major themes of his campaign and his short presidency, which ended on November 22, 1963 by an assassin's bullet.
