Historian Mark Updegrove’s book, Incomparable Grace, provides a deeper understanding of John F. Kennedy, a far from perfect leader, who rose above challenges with notable grace. Explore the Kennedy Administration as Updegrove shares his insights on the Cuban Missile Crisis, Civil Rights Act, and, of course, the Kennedy charisma of the Camelot era. @fpclassroom

Quick Ideas for Using the Video with Students:
Activity Ideas:
1. Have students research 20th and 21st century Presidents and find two words to describe their personalities and traits, as Updegrove did for John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson.
2. Use the video as part of your study of America in the 1960s, the office of the presidency, or specific events of the Kennedy administration. Engage students in a flipped learning activity and have them view the video out of class and come prepared to offer two insights they gained from watching the video and two questions they have for additional research.
