How has Jackie Kennedy Onassis made a difference in our lives today?

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis made a difference in the way Americans assess their culture in comparison with the rest of the world. Before her, not many people viewed the United States with the kind of envy in the arts, fashion, and culture, especially for women, since the United States had only begun to emerge as a first-world superpower after World War II. After her, the Unites States is seen as one of the nations that sets such trends. Because of Jackie, many world renowned American arts and culture institutions exist. These include the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the White House Historical Society, and the White House Fine Arts Commission. Because of Onassis, there is a guidebook for tourists who visit the White House, there is a library inside the White House for children to read books, and much of the way the Furniture is currently arranged can trace its origins back to her restoration of the White House as First Lady to President Kennedy. She also served as a goodwill ambassador to India, Pakistan, Cambodia, Mexico, Venezuela, France, and England, helping to preserve at times fragile diplomatic relations between the United States and these countries. She led the effort to preserve her husband's legacy in a positive way, adding greatly to its prestige. And because of her efforts, there exists Blair House and Lafayette Square, Grand Central Terminal in NYC because he it not been for efforts she supported, these landmarks would have been demolished for more office space.
