Saturday Evening Post, November 5, 1960

The 1960 election occurred during a turbulent time in America. The question of civil rights was on every American's mind on the homefront while the threats of nuclear war loomed from outside forces. We can even see on the cover of this issue a mention of Castro a year before he declared Cuba a socialist state and two years before the Cuban Missile Crisis. In this issue of the Saturday Evening Post, we get a rare look at the Kennedy campaign trail and how his campaign catered to contemporary problems.
