In Washington, D.C., the Newseum is hosting a JFK Remembrance with authors, journalists, and filmmakers on Friday. On Wednesday at the Arlington National Cemetery, President Barack Obama and former President Bill Clinton will attend a wreath-laying ceremony at Kennedy’s gravesite.
In Dallas, TX, crews are setting up for a special tribute in the downtown area and at Dealey Plaza, the place where Kennedy was shot and killed.
