The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum is dedicated to the memory of our nation's thirty-fifth president and to all those who through the art of politics seek a new and better world. Our purpose is to advance the study and understanding of President Kennedy's life and career and the times in which he lived; and to promote a greater appreciation of America's political and cultural heritage, the process of governing and the importance of public service. We accomplish our mission by: preserving and making accessible the records of President Kennedy and his times; promoting open discourse on critical issues of our own time; and educating and encouraging citizens to contribute, through public and community service, to shaping our nation's future.break

  • Naked in Baghdad: Covering the War in Iraq

    Mon, Sep 29, 2003
    Anne Garrels discusses her experiences in Baghdad which she has chronicled in a new book, Naked in Baghdad. Garrels is a roving foreign correspondent for NPR's foreign desk. She earned international recognition in 2003 by being one of 16 US journalists to remain in Baghdad during the initial invasion of Iraq. Her vivid, around the clock reports from the city under siege gave listeners remarkable insight into the impact of the war on Baghdad and those left in the city. As US and British forces advanced on the city, Garrels remained at her post, describing the scene on the streets and reactions from those she encountered. For her work in Iraq, Garrels was awarded a 2003 Courage in Journalism Award from the International Women's Media Foundation.
