The election of 1960 was one of the most important and closest elections in U.S. history. John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon were both WWII vets, had served together in Congress, and now would compete to see who would be president of the United States at the height of the Cold War. Come hear the talk about these two giants of 20th century American politics as MCC History Professor Mark Sample talks about their lives, history, and this election.
