16DNC:96 Election Eve Activities in Boston

[@beatlejim64]

God...How far we've fallen since 1960...

[@gloriag1888]

A truly global iconic, natural leader. At the end of his 8 year presidency he would still have been only 51, with so much to do for the world.....we miss you forever!

[@jeffwier696]

What a magnificent orator. The excitement is truly palatable in Boston Garden. The first five minutes of this clip, I thought that I was hearing Beatlemania! Just amazing! Thanx for the clip.

A long campaign speech, no notes, no teleprompter, coherent and able to recall names and data easily at will. How standards have fallen in public speaking by political leaders. The brilliance of the likes of JFK has long gone sadly.

[@0907oliv]

I checked Wikipedia regarding seating capacity for Boston Gardens and in doing so found that there was a figure for how many people attended this rally for JFK. The number of people who turned out for JFK in the arena was 20,000, but the Boston police estimated that there were another 100,000 in the streets. It just seems to me that those 20,000 sure are making a lot of noise, demonstrating their excitement for this outstanding candidate.

As a libertarian, he is one of the greats

[@freddylubin]

I was allowed to stay up late, for the first time in my life, to watch the election results come in. The family was happy.

[@alexmcgillivray301]

My great uncle and great aunt met him during this like I mean face to face full blown conversation. My great uncle worked for Bobby Kennedy and when they were in Boston he asked JFK if he would come meet his wife. So he came into the hotel room and gave her a hug and called her by her first name then they had an actual full conversation with him. I have a picture of the conversation. My great uncle is the guy in the wheel chair on stage when JFK walks off.

My first time seeing this video. Not sure if this was carried on live tv I am t hinking not. I was only 8years old when JFK as elected, but I, like so many had HIGH HOPES!! We were thrilled when he was elected. Not one of us could have ever imagined the tragedy that was to come. We will never really recover from it. The dark forces of evil still lurk everywhere in this country. It's a constant battle.

[@tanmaxwell4599]

He was our best looking president - that had charisma .The professor John Robinson of the 60's tv show LOST IN SPACE was patterned after him.Sadly missed.

[@canadianfortrump4057]

Come to think of it, the actor that played John Robinson in Lost in Space beared a very close resemblance to Kennedy.

[@transylvanianite3391]

What a nice coincidence. I discovered the same. Guy Williams had the same Character and Charisma as John F Kennedy. If you seen all the Lost in space episodes is was clearly a resemblance 🤔

[@mw4340]

I listen to him and remember when I was young.

[@0907oliv]

Thanks JFK Library for posting this. I have to say, the reception he is getting at this Election Eve Rally is stronger, noisier, more enthusiastic than any candidate gets today - that includes Clinton or Obama. Nothing like this reception.

@@MrZackavelli JULY 11, 1986 The 22 children of Elijah Muhammad, the late founder... CHICAGO -- The 22 children of Elijah Muhammad, the late founder of the Nation of Islam, are entitled to $5.7 million improperly turned over to the current leader of the religion, a judge has ruled. Cook County Circuit Judge Henry Budzinski ended a seven-year court battle with his ruling Thursday that the disputed bank account at the First Pacific Bank of Chicago, now known as Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank, was the private property of Muhammad and did not belong to the church of Islam. After Muhammad's death, the Pacific Bank closed his account and transferred the funds into a new account of one of his sons, Wallace Muhammad. The younger Muhammad was later named the new leader of the Islam nation, which is now known as the Muslim American Community. Eight of Elijah Muhammad's 22 children filed suit in 1979, contending the money belonged to their father's estate and not to the religious community. The account totaled $3.3 million when Muhammad died in 1975 and has accrued more than $2 million in interest. Budzinski ruled in favor of the estate in 1982 but the state appellate court asked him to reconsider the case with additional evidence in 1984.

[@jb-vb8un]

@@MrZackavelli mr.Muhammad himself said that I defected well in reality I never even left the Muslim movement they put me out and they put me out because of what I knew and what I knew was told to me by mr. Muhammad's son Wallace Muhammad himself they put me out and they put him out well now first of all let's find out what it is that Wallace Muhammad Elijah Muhammad his son told you well number one if you notice the the stick that I always used in presenting representing and defending the Muslim movement was the fact that it had the ability the ability to reform the morals of the so-called Negro community it eliminated drug addiction alcoholism fornication adultery loose sex sexual behavior which meant that uh had eliminated bastard babies illegitimate children well as long as I knew that this was what it represented and it gave me a strong stick I could represent it and defend it but we had a law which meant which means which was that whenever any Muslim became involved in any kind of sexual relationship with someone to whom they weren't married that person would be brought before the Muslim community community humiliated and then isolated for from one to five years this was our law well in 1954 our teenage sister left Detroit and became one of mr. Muhammad's personal secretaries and there in the Chicago office she became pregnant after being there for a year and she was brought before the Muslim community and humiliated and isolated and a year a year later another secretary this time one from Lansing Michigan came to Chicago she also became pregnant she was brought before the community and humiliated and isolated and because the other person was never brought forth during this court session it was concluded by all of mr. Muhammad's followers that it was a non-muslim who was the other party well we grew so rapidly and to that in 1957 or 58 the secretarial staff was expanded to I think eight teenage sisters in 1959 six of them disappeared two of them reappeared in Philadelphia about two or three months later and they were all right the other four reappeared in 1960 all four of them had babies all four of them had become involved with someone and become pregnant and had these children so it was from what I now know when the four of them got back to Chicago and begin to compare notes they found that the same man had told all of them the same story and had made all of them pregnant that the same man was the father of all four of their children and had also been the father of the children brought forth by the two secretaries who preceded them so this story was kept among these sisters until 1962 two of them rebelled against the person who was responsible and begin to tell the story all over the city of Chicago it caused many of the Muslims in the Chicago mosques to leave and go back out in the street they knew it and it I knew nothing about it until 1963 when mr. Muhammad's son who had been in prison came out and he was he had been a minister he was very religious and spiritual and when he began to hear these rumors around Chicago he went to one of the sisters and the sister admitted to him that the rumor was true and it was he who first told me about it and when he told me about it I took I wrote to mr. Mohammed and told him about it and he admitted that he had a knowledge of it and that he'd given me a religious explanation that would fit into prophecy and all of that so I was quiet and it wasn't until October of 1963 that it came up again and when it came up again I realized that the same person who had made these other sisters pregnant was still busy doing the same thing he hadn't stopped two of the sisters had two children by the same man and one of the two one of those two sisters was pregnant still getting ready to have a third child by the same man so when it was known among the Chicago officials that I had a knowledge of this they become very fearful of me they became very antagonistic toward me and they tried they had to do something to diminish the authority that I had for fear that if this became public knowledge the followers would leave the Muslim movement and follow me and it was at that time that they used the statement that I made against President Kennedy as a pretext to cut my Authority and some other things happen that finally were produced to split or forced to split and when I made the split the only reason that I didn't make this public knowledge was I knew the implications and I felt that if the Muslims who were in the Nation of Islam knew it that which enables them to be so strongly religious and exercise moral discipline would be shattered and it would cause all of them to go right back and start doing the things that they had been doing previously who is the father of all of these various children whom you have enumerated the first one to tell me who the father was was Wallace Muhammad and he told me that the father was Elijah Muhammad himself one of the sisters - he went to the home of one of the sisters and when he walked in the door she said I want to let you see something and she showed him her child she said here's your brother and your father is the one your father is the father of this child and then ask questioned the sisters myself because it was shook up and they admitted to me that Elijah Muhammad was the father
