Conflicting Conclusions: The Government Assassination Investigations

As the intense subjects of discussion and debate that continue today, two crucial government investigations into the death of President John F. Kennedy reflect the evolution of the memory and mood of the nation, from a desire for closure in the immediate aftermath of the assassination to heightened cynicism and mistrust of the government more than a decade later. Conflicting Conclusions: The Government Assassination Investigations featured a conversation between Howard P. Willens, Assistant Counsel on the staff of the Warren Commission, and G. Robert Blakey, Chief Counsel and Staff Director for the U.S. House Select Committee on Assassinations. Marking the first time these two highly respected members of the legal profession publicly discuss together their unique firsthand insights, this program will explore the context of these investigations, their findings and why questions remain still today, almost 55 years following the assassination. View this program on YouTube.
