Although Kennedy Onassis said that her main focus as the First Lady of the United States was to take care of the President and their children, she also dedicated her time to support American arts and preservation of its history. The restoration of the White House was her main contribution. She was also known for hosting many social events from politics and the arts. One of her goals that she was unable to reach was to create a Department of the Arts, but she did help create the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
