Birth of Peace Corps recalled by Sargent Shriver
Sargent Shriver recalls the birth of the Peace Corps in a Saturday interview. John Kennedy traveled in 1960 to the University of Kentucky to campaign and asked students who would go abroad for almost nothing. The campaign surged with volunteers and Kennedy promised a Peace Corps if elected. Shriver, then Kennedy's aide, became the first Peace Corps director after the election and later led VISTA and Head Start.
