The 1960 DNC, held in Los Angeles, saw John F. Kennedy emerge as the party's candidate for president. In JFK's acceptance speech, delivered on July 15th, he outlined his vision for America and 'The New Frontier,' remarking: 'We stand today on the edge of a New Frontier—the frontier of the 1960s—a frontier of unknown opportunities and perils—a frontier of unfulfilled hopes and threats…The New Frontier of which I speak is not a set of promises—it is a set of challenges. It sums up not what I intend to offer the American people, but what I intend to ask of them.' He would mirror this sentiment in his inaugural address five months later, famously saying: 'Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.'
