In 1961 John F Kennedy stepped into the American Presidency. He stepped into leadership and asked his country to do the same. On the 50th Anniversary of the inauguration of President Kennedy, the Kennedy Memorial Lecture Series, looks back on the life of the youngest man elected President of the United States of America. We do so with the help of renowned Presidential Historian Robert Dallek. Kennedy's words have inspired people around the world, with his inaugural address offering the memorable line: "Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country." Robert Dallek will share with those attending lectures both in Belfast and Dublin, insights into the leadership qualities of President Kennedy and his lasting legacy.

Robert Dallek is the author of international best seller An Unfinished Life: John F. Kennedy, 1917-1963, which remains the most widely read one-volume biography of the 35th President. He has taught at Columbia University, UCLA and Oxford. He is an elected Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and of the Society of American Historians, for which he served as President 2004- 2005.
