The assassination of President Kennedy changed the city—and the world—forever. As a tribute to this extraordinary man, John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza was dedicated on June 24, 1970.

Johnson’s design is a "cenotaph," or open tomb, that symbolizes the freedom of John F. Kennedy’s spirit. The memorial is a square, roofless room, 30 feet high and 50-feet-by-50-feet wide. Visitors enter the room after a short walk up a slight concrete incline that is embossed with concr...
