The center was originally named the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Located in Washington, D.C., it stands as a tribute to the former president, who was assassinated in 1963.
On December 18, the center’s board voted unanimously to rename the building to include Donald Trump’s name alongside Kennedy’s, making it officially known as the Trump-Kennedy Center.
Joe Kennedy III, JFK’s grandnephew, said: “The Kennedy Center is a living memorial to a fallen president and named for President Kennedy by federal law. It can no sooner be renamed than can someone rename the Lincoln Memorial, no matter what anyone says.”
