Congress renamed the arts center for JFK just 27 days after his death.

The National Cultural Center became the Kennedy Center on Dec. 19, 1963 — weeks after JFK's assassination. Now, ~62 years later, Trump has suggested renaming it for himself, a striking historical contrast.

The Kennedy Center stretches 630 feet along the Potomac River!

That's longer than two football fields! The building sits on 17 acres of Potomac riverfront in D.C.'s Foggy Bottom neighborhood — making it one of the largest performing arts centers in the U.S.
