Institute of Politics Opens Up Video Archive to the Public

The Institute of Politics (IOP) at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government today announced that video footage of nearly thirty years of public addresses and panel discussions held in the John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum is now available on the IOP’s website. 

The IOP, which manages the Forum venue, has created the new online video archive featuring hundreds of speeches given by some of the world’s most prominent political speakers from 1978 to the present.  The
archive also offers visitors use of a search engine to fully explore its contents – making the expansive library’s material easy to access and use.

Today's featured forum videos are of
former President George H.W. Bush, Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm, Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, then-Governor of Arkansas Bill Clinton, U.S. Senator John McCain, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Bishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Dr. Wangari Maathai, former Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara, and Union Organizer Cesar Chavez.
