Jacqueline Kennedy

Jacqueline Kennedy nos habla por primera vez de su vida con JFK. Un testimonio histórico que sale ahora a la luz en esta edición coordinada por su hija Caroline. Poco después del asesinato de John F. Kennedy, con la nación entera de luto y en un ambiente de fuerte conmoción internacional, Jacqueline Kennedy encontró la fortaleza necesaria para dejar de lado su dolor y contribuir a mantener vivo el legado de su marido. En enero de 1964 ella y su cuñado, Robert F. Kennedy, aprobaron un proyecto de historia oral que recogiera los acontecimientos más reseñables de la presidencia de Kennedy como ejemplo para las futuras generaciones. A principios de marzo la que fuera primera dama de Norteamérica se sentó junto al historiador y premio Pulitzer, Arthur Schlesinger Jr., para hablar de las aspiraciones políticas de Kennedy, los primeros años de casados, su carácter, los hábitos de lectura de JFK, sus héroes de infancia, la vida en la Casa Blanca,la revolución cubana o Bahía Cochinos, entre otros muchos temas. Aquellas cintas fueron grabadas y la información que contenía nunca se publicó. Hoy, 50 años después, y gracias al impulso de su hija Caroline salen a la luz. Jacqueline Kennedy. Conversaciones históricas sobre mi vida con John F. Kennedy es una obra de historia oral -trufada de fotografías personales e inéditas- que da voz a uno de los testigos cruciales de aquel tiempo, una mujer que por desgracia ha estado ausente en todos los libros que se han escrito sobre John F. Kennedy hasta el momento. Ahora le toca hablar a ella, a Jacqueline Kennedy. La mañana de su muerte, el 19 de mayo de 1994, The New York Times destacaba el silencio que siempre guardó sobre su pasado, es más sus años junto a Kennedy y su matrimonio fueron siempre un misterio. Estas conversaciones son un documento magistral, una lección de historia y una confesión íntima que supone el final del silencio. «Grabadas menos de cuatro meses después de la muerte de su marido, estas conversaciones suponen un regalo para la posteridad y una muestra de amor. Mis hijos y yo hemos decidido publicarlas ahora con motivo del 50 aniversario de la presidencia de mi padre. Espero que las generaciones futuras encuentren en estos recuerdos inspiración».

"Henny always keeps a tight watch over her flock; she never lets them out of her sight . . . The feathers are picked one by one. Oh my goodness, Foxy thinks to herself, I am going to be the best-looking hen."Foxy and Henny is a fable teaching empowering characteristics such as holding your head high, walking with confidence, being kind because bullying is aggressive behavior, standing up and protecting others,saying something if you see something; and being committed to an idea.

Foxy and Henny

„În 1964, ca parte dintr-un proiect de istorie orală despre viaţa şi cariera lui John F. Kennedy, mama mea a intrat într-un dialog cu Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. pentru a-şi împărtăşi amintirile şi percepţia asupra lucrurilor. Înregistrate la mai puţin de patru luni după moartea soţului ei, aceste conversaţii reprezintă un dar făcut istoriei... Sper că tinerele generaţii care încep să afle mai multe despre anii 1960 vor considera aceste rememorări o introducere utilă în modul în care se face istoria şi vor găsi în ele inspiraţia de a oferi ceva acestei ţări care ne-a oferit tuturor atât de multe.“

Viața mea cu John F. Kennedy. Interviuri cu Arthur M. S

In 2001, I was estranged from my abusive husband. With God's help I had FINALLY created the means to financially support my children. What started out as a legitimate income tax filing business somehow turned into a house of cards. First, I began the slippery slope of offering certain services to other; then the friendly smiles and innocent questions from others as to how I ran my business and the particulars of the "program" I offered became more. My good intentions became twisted by others actions. Little did I know I would be caught up in a web of lies and faced with betrayal on various levels a few years later from those who were friends so close they were like family. Family also would add to the betrayal. Wolves come to devour, and I was ripe for the picking. When did the web of lies start? How did things go from black and white to various shades of grey? When did the greed of others lead to betrayal and the start of my downfall? How does a person do things and then not hold their own weight, but instead try to throw things off on someone else? From running and hiding from the Federal Marshalls, working for hours on end to cover my tracks while still trying to be a mother and protect my children and the ones in my care to finally ending up in Federal Prison based partly on the lies of others who were not solid enough to carry their own weigh; as well as my own misguided actions. I went from building myself up from the ground; having it all; to eventually losing what I had built. I watched my hard work and dedication go up in smoke. BUT GOD.... I emerge from the ashes by God's Grace! I am Jacqueline Kennedy, indicted as part of what the United States Government has labeled as "One of the Largest Fictitious Employer Unemployment Fraud Schemes ever to be prosecuted" causing a loss of over $8.7 MILLION and which spanned several states. I have been a Victim Labeled a Villain. But I am emerging Victorious. This is MY STORY!
