Snapped at a youth leadership conference in July 1963, it shows the future 42nd US president&nbsp;<span>Bill Clinton, then aged 16, shaking hands with the 35th president, John F Kennedy. Though they only met for a few seconds, the moment had a profound impact on the young Clinton. He would later go on to say that his brief encounter with JFK, along with watching Martin Luther King Jr\u2019s \u2018I Have a Dream\u2019 speech the same year, were the two catalysts that encouraged him to enter politics. Four months after the photograph was taken, Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"footer\">PICTURE CREDIT: GETTY
