Kennedy, for whom the Washington, DC performing arts venue was named. “Trump can take the Kennedy Centre for himself. “President Kennedy would remind us that it is not buildings that define the greatness of a nation. “So, do not be distracted from what this Administration is actually trying to erase: our connection, our community, and our commitment to the rights of all.”The Kennedy Centre opened in 1971 as a “living memorial” to President Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1963. “We have, for decades, watched the Kennedy Centre be ignored by the very people who are now standing up and complaining about the rescuer,” Grenell told Fox News last month.
