Remarks:
The Pima County Democratic Party raised $1,000 for the bust of John F. Kennedy which was dedicated exactly one year after the assassination. In 1964, the sculpture was removed and stored until construction of the new City Hall was completed in 1971. IAS files contain articles from the Arizona Daily Star dated November 17, 1964 and October 23, 1971.
