How Long Ago was 1961
It was fifty-nine years ago when John F. Kennedy was inaugurated as the thirty-fifth President of the United States. In 1961, America was on the cusp of a new era and ready to take on the world. The country had just come out of a recession and was about to enter into a period of economic growth.
Unemployment was down and wages were up. The stock market was booming and business confidence was high. It seemed like anything was possible in 1961.
1961 was a long time ago! It was the year that John F. Kennedy became president, the Berlin Wall was built, and Yuri Gagarin became the first man in space. It was also the year that The Beatles released their first album.
So much has happened since then, but it’s hard to believe that it’s been more than 50 years.
