Google's Thursday homepage doodle celebrates the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's inaugural address.
The letters in the Google logo are spelled out using words from Kennedy's speech, with the second "G" featuring a drawing of the former president.
The speech, presented on January 20, 1961, includes the iconic line: "And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country."
In that speech, Kennedy also acknowledged that "the world is very different now," and reached out to those across the country and the globe, from old allies and new states to those in third-world countries and sister republics south of our border.
"So let us begin anew—remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof. Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate," he said.
Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas.
