In what year did John F. Kennedy deliver his inaugural address?

1963 1961 1959 1965

Correct Answer:

1961

Explanation:

The year of Kennedy’s inaugural address is 1961. Inaugural addresses are given at the start of a president’s term, and Kennedy began his presidency on January 20, 1961 after winning the 1960 election. The other years don’t correspond to the moment he took office: 1963 is when he was assassinated, 1959 is before he became president, and 1965 is after his term. The speech you’re thinking of happened in 1961, on the day he was sworn in.
