#8: Jackie Kennedy Onassis
“Ever since she embraced historic preservation in the 1960s, every first lady has adopted at least one public service project.”
Jackie Kennedy was far more than an iconic figure and a symbol of tragedy for Americans; she held a profound impact as the youngest First Lady in over 80 years. Upon entering the White House, she undertook a monumental task: revamping and maintaining its interiors.

Jackie established the White House Historical Association and enlisted a Smithsonian curator to catalog its treasures. She expanded the library’s collection, championed civil rights, and supported organizations like the American Cancer Society. A passionate advocate for the arts, she hosted gatherings for academics and artists.
