Caroline Kennedy taking her Raggedy Ann doll for a walk in a stroller and JFK tagging along. (1960)
The man who would be the leader of the free world was also a dad — twice over. Photographers captured this father-and-daughter shot just two-and-a-half weeks after Kennedy had narrowly defeated Richard Nixon in the race for the Presidency of the United States. But this stroll around the block with daughter Caroline and her Raggedy Ann doll was no victory lap; rather it was a moment of normalcy for the President-elect in what was bound to have been a hectic day following a frenetic campaign. As election day had approached, so had another momentous event: The birth of another child. This picture was taken on November 25, 1960 — the day John F. Kennedy, Jr. was born.
