notes: label: Description
content: Victor in the closely contested election of 1960, John F. Kennedy was inaugurated president on January 20, 1961 with Lyndon B. Johnson as his vice president. "The New Frontier" was how Kennedy had described his policy goals in his speech accepting the nomination of the Democratic Party on July 15, 1960. Intentionally echoing the language of FDR's "New Deal," Kennedy used this phrase to inspire his listeners saying, "I'm asking each of you to be pioneers toward that New Frontier. My call is to the young in heart, regardless of age—to the stout in spirit, regardless of party—to all who respond to the scriptural call: 'Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be dismayed'."
