- On March 23, 1962 President John F. Kennedy addressed a Charter Day crowd of 88,000 in Memorial Stadium that included Gov. Edmund Brown, UC President Clark Kerr and the newly inaugurated third chancellor of UC Berkeley, Edward Strong.
I've lived a full 50 years since November 22, 1963 and can truly say this country has NEVER BEEN NOR EVER WILL BE THE SAME SINCE THAT TERRIBLE DAY!!!!
if the foundation of democracy was truly built on the sandy surface of charisma, and dependent on one man, then democracy never had a chance.
learn about who killed him.. they , this cabal, is still around.. creating & profiting from war
@@marykline2818 utter conspiracy trash
I was fortunate to be in attendance with my father and brothers. Hearing the words spoken against the backdrop of the political discourse of today make me weep for the current state of the nation.
Same here. That time is when we had a REALLY GREAT PRESIDENT and a WW2 Naval Hero!
I was there, 9 years old, with my parents and sister. After seeing Kennedy so much on our black and white TV, we were surprised that he had reddish hair when wet saw him in person here at Memorial Stadium. What a privilege to be there. Even at that young age, Kennedy was a hero to me.
I saw JFK on the day he gave this speech in March of 1962. Air Force One landed at NAS Alameda. My school was along the route he took to reach the Berkeley campus and his limousine drove right by us kids as we clapped and waved at him. I remember it it like it was yesterday. It truly was a special moment.
I have so many questions
Was it cragmont elementary
I read this speech in its original form at the library at UC Berkeley (with his hand written side notes). Such a beautiful feeling to touch an inspiring piece of history.
Wow id love to see that one day... What did the side notes say ?
Nobody could give a speech like JFK.
I was there, too. I was born and raised in Berkeley. I was 9 and in 5th grade at Cragmont Elementary just a couple of miles up the road from campus. It was very inspiring event. Just living in Berkeley then was inspiring all by itself. A time like no other anywhere.
One of my favorite speeches thank you Helmer
we will never see his likes again in our life time
Joan Allman Ron Paul?
Donald Trump... JFK is Trump's hero and JFK jr. was his best friend and is going after the ones who caused their deaths...
I was born in Berkeley, and 13 at the time of President Kennedy's Charter Day address. My parents and grandparents made sure we went to hear "Our President" speak when he came to town, even though they all voted for Nixon. Sadly, I can't imagine that happening today in our divided body politic climate. Still have my black and white photos from that day which I cherish!!
Idealist without illusion
What a wonderful leader...
Wow Never saw this before , Great video seeing jfk in color ! Thanks very much for posting this !
I was there as a ten year old, one of two representatives of my elementary school in Sunnyvale, California. A bus picked up two kids each from grade schools all over the Peninsula and took us to the UC Berkeley football stadium, where we sat on chairs on the field, pretty close to the lectern. Mostly I remember the huge crowd, the excitement of seeing the President and how close we were to him. A day or two later there was an assembly at our school and the other kid (a sixth--grader) and I had to make an oral report to all the 4th-6th graders about the President's speech. Of course it went way over my head but I remember JFK talked about the Soviets, the threat of nuclear war and space exploration. It's fantastic to come across this now after all these years and remember the enthusiasm shown by the crowd for our youthful, eloquent president.
Eloquence, intelligence.
Imagine JFK serving two full terms (1961-1969)
Imagine 58,000 young American men still alive
It's easy if you try
The Best President Ever
Quality of the film is astounding
Aye Johnny!-we hardly knew ye-but the small, poisonous men that cut you down will forever lie like so much chaff at your feet. We can only hope that your country will one day admit that crime and continual cover-up which has caused tremendous self inflicted damage and loss of moral authority.Your country will never see your like again-nor do they deserve to until that guilt is acknowledged.50 years and sadly still no sign that it will happen.
I agree
“Let us plant our tree this afternoon”. In a speech in Nashville Kennedy said, “the time to fix your roof is when the sun is shining.”
JFK A MAN W/SOME BALLS AKA COHONES !note D.Webster's quote " knowledge is the brightest star in the firmament!"
An amazing Beautiful soul
Damn, I miss both President Kennedy and Berkeley.
Thanks very much for posting.
A treasure....well done.
Awesome color video. thanks for posting this.
Thank you for this..🙏
Thanks for uploading this. Love the New-England accent.
What is interesting here is that the date of this speech is March, 1962. Many people say that JFK was a cold warrior until the Cuban Missile Crisis & then afterwards because of that experience moved toward peace. But here you have a speech prior to the crisis and he is talking about cooperation and the pursuit of peace, which sounds much like his American University speech of June, 1963. I have never believed this view of JFK, that he came in a cold warrior and then changed. Here is proof.
He worried about being elected so he had the rhetoric to match to go up against Nixon who of course was a staunch Republican he said what he said so he could get elected and thank God he was
For all his faults, JFK could still inspire, as he does here. To measure what we've lost with his death, try to imagine a current president speaking like this.
The current president is a baffoon
what faults?
Mediocre Senator/Politician and immoral. He also did not exactly achieve anything during his Presidency.
@@johnnotrealname8168 He saved yr ass from a nuclear catastrophe in 1962. He signed the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. He gave the impetus to the moon flight. He began the federal government's involvement in civil rights for black Americans. Not a bad record for three years in office.
@@johnnotrealname8168 Started space exploration, got the ball rolling on civil rights, started the Peace Corps and the Green Berets, spoke for conservation....yeah, didn't achieve anything.
Love it.
When the world was pleased this man was the President of the United States.
Dr. John F Kennedy, President of the United States. The university faculty were proud of him being part of their class. They conferred upon him the degree of Doctor Honoris Causa.
Donald Trump in a million years couldn’t give a speech this good!!!! JFK was amazing.
Kennedy did come into the presidency elected as a Cold Warrior. He outdid Nixon in hawkish words during the campaign. But, after he went through the disastrous Bay of Pigs in April 1961, he started to distrust his military and CIA advisors. That bode well for the nation with the Oct. 1962 Cuban Missle Crisis. One of his long-term paramours was Mary Pinchot Meyer who influenced him to move more in the direction of peace instead of war. She unfortunately met the same fate as JFK on Oct. 12, 1964 in Washington, DC. Her ex-husband was CIA operative Cord Meyer, and she and Cord had known JFK since the late-1940s when he was a congressman. After Mary's murder, Cord was asked who did it. He said, "The same SOBs who killed JFK." Peter Janney's book about Mary Meyer and JFK, published in Oct. 2013 , is "Mary's Mosaic: The CIA Conspiracy to Murder John F. Kennedy, Mary Pinchot Meyer, and Their Vision for World Peace." www.amazon.com/Marys-Mosaic-Conspiracy-Kennedy-Pinchot/dp/1626361274
This President, President Kennedy, could've made the universe work more efficiently.
Wow.
I can hear Ted Sorenson’s style and prose in this speech. They were a writing team.
"AKS not what you can do for your country ... AXE what your country has been doing to you!"~KFJ
When I listen to President Kennedy speak, then hear that orangutan we had to endure for four years. I wonder why we allowed someone like him to become our leader. Thank God those days have come and gone for good! Lesson learned.
This is the fourth time I know of that JFK pitched the idea of a joint effort to explore the new frontier of space. First June 1961 summit in Vienna. Second, a March 1962 letter to Khrushchev. Third 1963 speech at the UN.
🗽All the way with JFK! 🇺🇸
Unless by threat of violence, there is no way, either in our country, or elsewhere, that some 90,000 people would gather today to see/hear their leader. "fokjock", who commented previously, is exact and poignant in his remarks, espeically the words: "....We can only hope that your country will one day admit that crime and continual cover-up which has caused tremendous self inflicted damage and loss of moral authority. Your country will never see your like again - nor do they deserve to until that guilt is acknowledged..." To this I add: And until that day, the government shall never regain the respect of our adversaries, the admiration of our allies and the trust of it's own people.
president kennedy was my previous incarnation.
Does anyone know the name of the song at 17:00? Because of the use of an organ, it sounds like a religious song, but that is hard to believe in a university ceremony.
It is indeed a religious song...
O God our Help in Ages Past
Our Hope for Years to Come
Our Shelter from the Stormy Blast
Our Hope Eternal Home
O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.
Under the shadow of Thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defense is sure.
Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.
Thy Word commands our flesh to dust,
"Return, ye sons of men:"
All nations rose from earth at first,
And turn to earth again...
A hymn by Isaac Watts that paraphrases the 90th Psalm of the Book of Psalms.

Kennedy is fairly short.
Not really. He was slightly over 6 feet tall. It all depends who he is standing next to.
Yes, and the difference between Ronald Reagan and JFK was that JFK appealed to the most positive aspects in human nature -- and Ronald Reagan appealed to the worst. Also, JFK did not have to be pulled and cajoled to the peace table as Reagan was. Reagan was backward in his thinking and JFK was progressive.
sorry, that is just wrong. Reagan knew he needed to begin from a position of strength foremost. Kennedy's actions brought on an entirely avoidable Cuban Missile Crisis. Kennedy said as much himself. Krushchev was convinced that Kennedy was weak and would settle for a settlement at any price, including a significant tactical defeat in Cuba. Kennedy painted himself into a corner of "toughness" as the only possible resolution to the crisis in the most dangerous manner possible. Miscalculation by Russia, rooted in lack of clarity and credibility by Kennedy, i.e. long on charisma, but less certain or resolute in policy choices. Cuba was not a roaring success at all, leading to pledges to allow Castro to foment troubles unmolested, and causing the US to withdraw proposals for other forward based weapons intended for the protection of Western Europe. These were not insignificant. Lesson learned the hard way: Far better to demonstrate resolve first and forestall the avoidable confrontation.
Berkeley of today would gnash their teeth about JFK's white privilege.
that decade that suit. blues man suit. the blues Brothers. that decade that suit and tie that will be my uniform for president black suit black tie and white shirt. Mikey had one in godfather ll that damn suit that decade. black suit black tie and white shirt and sensible shoes iam making my hit. it's. s. a. I. n. t. saint calories day it's this God the Father ll Mikey engineer notebook.
One might add that JFK was not a war criminal. Reagan was very much so.
ask the family members of the brave Cuban dissidents left on their own to death or horrific imprisonment for resisting Castro's brutality under the mistaken assumption that they could count on Kennedy's promises.
