With today marking the 50th anniversary
of John F. Kennedy’s assassination, The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Foundation launched AnIdeaLivesOn.org, an online tribute where
visitors can submit stories about how Kennedy’s legacy lives on, and how he has shaped their lives today. Named for President Kennedy’s observation that “A man may die, nations may
rise and fall, but an idea lives on,” the site contains personal stories in video, audio, text, photographs and tweet forms. Stories are assigned to categories like volunteerism, the space
program, arts and humanities, civil rights, immigration, fashion, politics, education and religion, among others. Users tweeting stories can use the hastag #anidealiveson to submit pieces. The
Martin Agency and Tool created the site.
