This is a link to the documentary of  A Tour of the White House with Mrs. John F. Kennedy. Jackie was well known for her impact on the White House. She made the White House a home for the family and America. The Kennedy's wanted people to appreciate the history of the White House more and so Jackie worked to restore the White House. She worked to acquire antique furniture that had once been significant pieces in the history of the White House and to those who had come before them.  Once Kennedy's had finished some of the renovations, she hosted a special on CBS on a tour of the White House. Eighty Million watched her tour. 

These were the funeral arrangements for President Kennedy's funeral. In the film, the director showed Jackie focusing much of her energy on creating a proper funeral for her husband. She wanted his legacy to continue well beyond his death and she believed his funeral would play a large role in that. Jackie pulled inspiration from Lincoln's funeral plans and wanted to implement some aspects of Lincoln's funeral into John's.

This was the packing list from the day before Jack was assassinated. This haunting note that helped Jackie organize her thoughts for the next day; it included specific "hour by hour timestamps along with the clothes and accessories that would accompany the event.    

Jackie was known for her triple-strand Pearl necklace. This is a picture of a Faux Pearl Necklace that is similar to one she would have worn that was inherited from her mother. Her Pearls were just one part of her fashion trends that she set. Pearls represent generosity and integrity, which is what Jackie exemplified.  Pearls are also made over a long period of time and this links back to the theme of the party, "Grace and Resilience: A Celebration of Wisdom through Experience," because pearls also symbolize wisdom. The pearls are an important item to this dinner party because guests will receive a pearl as a party favor to remind them of the females that influenced their lives.  

This was the Life Magazine article written by Theodore H. White. The film uses the interview between Jackie and White to move the plot and show the viewers different pivotal times after the assignation. The interview between the two was said to last for four hours and the iconic Camelot myth was mentioned.      

This is the Pink suit Jackie wore on that fateful day. She wore the blood-stained suit hours after the assassination to show Americans "what they had done." She was known for her iconic style with her pillbox hats and sheath dresses. Jackie has influenced people not only through her character but through her fashion as well.

This was the beaded silk gown designed by Oleg Cassini that Jackie wore on the night Pablo Casals performed at the White House. The film featured a clip of Jackie and President Kennedy on that night when Casals performed and was used as a flashback to the days of splendor and fantasy. 

This was Lincoln's Bed that Kennedy's were able to acquire for the White House. Lincoln himself was an import figure in the Kennedy's lives. The film makes it clear how Jackie wanted John to have a great legacy like Lincoln. Like I said before, Jackie used Lincon's funeral plans for inspiration and she wanted a procession like Lincoln's for Jack.
