Episode 33
How Did Jackie Kennedy Transform the White House?
This week, I find out more about how one of America’s most popular first ladies turned her office, and residence of three years, into a living museum of US political history, as we ask… how did Jackie Kennedy transform the White House?
We discuss how Jackie Kennedy used her platform to champion one of the most radical projects ever undertaken by the First Lady, and in doing so, she redefines exactly what the role of First Lady means, and setting the blueprint for all that follow.
Special Guest:
- Jess Alldred, a final year American history undergraduate from the University of East Anglia.
