“Let the word go forth from this time and place to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed
to a new generation of Americans—born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and
bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage—and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of
those human rights to which this nation has always been committed and to which we are committed
today at home and around the world.”
President John F. Kennedy
