The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts (the Kennedy Center), located on the east bank of the Potomac River in Washington, D.C., opened in 1971 but was actually authorized by the National Cultural Center Act of 1958.

A 1931 law in Michigan, MCL 750.224(1)(d), imposes severe penalties, including a possible prison sentence, for possession of brass knuckles.
