Thank you for joining the @capecodtimes as we recreated the events of Nov. 21-22, 1963, reimagined through the lens of Twitter.
"--and determined that this land we love shall lead all mankind into new frontiers of peace and abundance." Thank you, Mr. President.
"Let us stand together with renewed confidence in our cause, united in our heritage of the past and our hopes for the future--"
"So let us not be petty when our cause is so great. Let us not quarrel amongst ourselves when our Nation's future is at stake."
"Our duty is not merely the preservation of political power but the preservation of peace and freedom."
"And our duty as a party is not to our party alone, but to the nation, and, indeed, to all mankind."
"Neither conformity nor complacency will do. Neither the fanatics nor the faint-hearted are needed."
"For this country is moving and it must not stop. It cannot stop. For this is a time for courage and a time for challenge."
"Almost everywhere we look, the story is the same ... there is now renewed confidence in our country and our convictions."
