President John F. Kennedy didn’t name the Kennedy Center for himself.
Eisenhower signed legislation to create a “National Cultural Center.” Eisenhower and Kennedy fundraised for it.
Congress and Johnson only named it in honor of Kennedy after he was assassinated.

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.
The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.
