So, I was poking around the internet the other day, looking for some info on Caroline Kennedy, and I stumbled upon some interesting stuff related to the Kennedy Center Honors. Figured I’d share my little adventure with y’all.
First off, I dug into who Caroline Kennedy is. Turns out, she’s a pretty big deal. She’s currently the United States Ambassador to Australia, and before that, she was the U.S. Ambassador to Japan from 2013 to 2017. I also found out that she’s a celebrated author and a big supporter of progressive politics. She’s even written a couple of books, like “In Our Defense: The Bill of Rights in Action” and “The Right to Privacy.”
Then, I started looking into the Kennedy Center Honors. It’s this annual award ceremony that recognizes people in the performing arts for their contributions to American culture. They’ve been doing it every year since 1978, which is pretty cool.
My process
- I started by just googling “Caroline Kennedy.”
- Came across her role as an ambassador and her books.
- Then I searched for “Kennedy Center Honors” to learn more about it.
- Found out it’s been going on since 1978, honoring folks in the performing arts.
- I also read about how they have this rainbow-colored ribbon they give to the recipients.
During my little research session, I came across some financial info about Caroline Kennedy. When she was nominated to be the ambassador to Japan in 2013, her net worth was said to be between $67 million and $278 million. That includes family trusts, government bonds, and some property in New York, Chicago, and Washington. Pretty impressive, right?
I also discovered that she gave a tribute at the Kennedy Center Honors, being the daughter of the late President John F. Kennedy. The arts center is named after him, so it makes sense. Oh, and I found some videos of the Kennedy Center Honors, directed by Louis J. Horvitz, featuring Caroline Kennedy. There was even one where Steven Tyler’s performance was mentioned as being super awesome.
Other tidbits I picked up: First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, Vice President Al Gore, and his wife Tipper were at one of the ceremonies. And there’s a video of President Obama talking about the arts at a Kennedy Center Honors reception. He even mentioned Caroline Kennedy and her family’s support for the arts.
So, yeah, that’s what I’ve been up to – just exploring the world of Caroline Kennedy and the Kennedy Center Honors. It’s been a fun little journey, and I thought I’d share it with you all. Hope you found it as interesting as I did!
