SUMMARY:Three Hours in Dallas: Film Premiere with Live Musical Score
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the world premiere of “Three Hours in Dallas\,” an original musical composition scored to accompany an all-new compilation of historic motorcade film footage. Written by award-winning composer Jesus Martinez and performed by a percussion ensemble from Arlington’s Sam Houston High School\, this unique immersive experience exemplifies President Kennedy’s affinity for the arts.\n  \nLinking the arts to the historic events of November 22\, 1963\, this cross-generational project spans 56 years. The composer was born in 1987\, and the performers were born in the early 2000s. The film score is meant to link sound effects and synchronized sound to specific scenes that will captivate the audience and create the sensation of personally witnessing the events of November 22\, 1963. As President Kennedy himself said\, “We must never forget…that art is not a form of propaganda…it is a form of truth.”\n  \nWith a master’s degree in Music Composition from Southern Methodist University and a bachelor’s degree in Music Education from University of Texas at Arlington\, Jesus Martinez has served as Composer-in-Residence for both the Alabama Orchestra Association and the Irving Symphony Orchestra. While at SMU\, he studied primarily with composer Dr. Robert Frank and developed a special interest in film scoring and new music ensembles. \n  \nMartinez was commissioned to score the film “Mystery of Birds\,” which premiered in Houston in 2011 and was selected to screen at the Los Angeles Black Film Festival. In 2012\, the film won the African Movie Academy Award for Best Film by an African Living Abroad. Also in 2011\, Martinez presented his 34-minute world premiere of “Threnody for 9/11 for Mixed Chamber Ensemble\,” which received accolades in Texas print and broadcast media and a resolution in his name issued by the Texas State Legislature. Martinez scored the 2013 film “Take the Spotlight\,” which premiered at four film festivals in Texas\, Arkansas and Georgia\, winning awards for best film and best director. \n  \nMost recently\, Martinez composed “The Sixth Floor\,” which premiered at the 30th anniversary of The Sixth Floor Museum on February 18\, 2019.

SUMMARY:Toward a Psychological Understanding of Lee Oswald\, Assassin
DESCRIPTION:While many over the years have pondered Oswald’s motive\, clinical psychologist Dr. Gene Riddle took a different tack – analyzing how Oswald became a person capable of assassinating a president. Over the course of six years\, Dr. Riddle conducted an in-depth study of Lee Harvey Oswald as part of a book-length project for the Professional School of Psychology in Sacramento. \nDr. Gene Riddle was in the fall term of his senior year at a county high school just outside Washington D.C. at the time of the deaths of John Kennedy\, J. D. Tippit\, and Lee Harvey Oswald. A licensed clinical psychologist in California\, with a 1997 PhD from the San Francisco campus of the Professional School of Psychology\, Riddle became fascinated with the psyche of Lee Harvey Oswald and spent more than six years compiling a professional book-length study of him. \nPrior to entering the mental health profession\, Dr. Riddle attained BA and MA degrees in Political Science and taught undergraduate political science courses at the University of Colorado\, Denver.

SUMMARY:The Last Days of Lee Harvey Oswald: A Conversation with Ruth Paine
DESCRIPTION:Thrust overnight into the center of an international tragedy\, Ruth Paine still ponders a different outcome if she’d known Lee Harvey Oswald had stashed a rifle in her garage. For the first time ever\, Ruth shared her story at the Museum\, joining Curator Stephen Fagin in conversation as she reflected on her friendship with Marina Oswald and how the legacy of the Kennedy assassination continues to impact her life. \nA housewife living in Irving\, Texas\, Ruth Paine met Lee and Marina Oswald at a party in February 1963. Seven months later\, when the Oswald marriage began to falter\, Marina and her children moved into Ruth’s home. As a Quaker\, Paine was opposed to weapons\, and it wasn’t until the afternoon of November 22\, 1963 that she learned Oswald had hidden his rifle in her garage. Paine’s friendship with Marina and her proximity to Lee has placed her at the heart of this historic event; the aftermath of the events of 1963 still affect her today. In 2009\, the City of Irving purchased her former home and restored it to its 1963 appearance\, where it is now open to the public as a historic museum. View this program on YouTube.

SUMMARY:Deep South Dispatch: Memoir of a Civil Rights Journalist
DESCRIPTION:Born and raised in the South during a time when racial segregation was the norm\, former New York Times journalist John N. Herbers witnessed and covered landmark civil rights uprisings that rocked the country\, the world and his own conscience. A leading civil rights journalist for more than a decade\, Herbers wrote from behind the front lines\, risking his own personal safety to bring awareness to the nation of the injustices and violence inflicted on African Americans. \nOn October 4\, Herbers’ daughter\, Washington journalist Anne Farris Rosen\, discussed Deep South Dispatch: Memoir of a Civil Rights Journalist\, the book she co-wrote with her father. This memoir provides riveting details about watershed events in the civil rights movement — the execution of Willie McGee\, murder trial of Emmett Till\, assassination of President John F. Kennedy\, Birmingham church bombing\, Freedom Summer murders in Mississippi and Selma riots – as well as Herbers’ encounters with both Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the Ku Klux Klan. \nDeep South Dispatch: Memoir of a Civil Rights Journalist was the closing program for the temporary exhibit 55 Years\, an installation of magazine covers featuring President Kennedy from 1963 to 2018 that showcased how the memorialization of the President evolved over time.

SUMMARY:70 Years of Texas Television: An Evening with Bobbie Wygant
DESCRIPTION:Bobbie Wygant joined Texas’ first television station\, WBAP-TV\, in 1948\, two weeks before it went on the air.

SUMMARY:The Power of the Magazine Cover: Yesterday\, Today and Tomorrow
DESCRIPTION:Successful American leaders have always understood\, respected — and sometimes feared — the power of the media in shaping and shifting public opinions and perceptions. For more than a hundred years\, magazine publishers and politicians have had a symbiotic relationship. From Lincoln to Kennedy and beyond\, an American president’s appearance on a magazine cover has generated increased sales and readership for the publication and heightened public awareness of the president’s platform and policies. \n  \nOn Monday\, March 25\, the Museum presented The Power of the Magazine Cover: Yesterday\, Today and Tomorrow with Dr. Samir Husni. Known as Mr. Magazine™ and regarded as one of the nation’s foremost experts on print journalism\, Dr. Husni took us on a journey through the history of American magazines\, including the role magazine covers played in cementing the enduring mystique and legacy of President Kennedy. Perhaps the most photographed American president in history\, President Kennedy appeared on magazine covers throughout his lifetime and over the past fifty-five years since his death. \n  \nThis special program included admission to the Museum’s temporary exhibit 55 Years\, an installation of magazine covers featuring President Kennedy from 1963 to 2018. While President Kennedy’s image and influence have continued to be the focus of magazine articles over the years\, 55 Years visually conveys how the symbolic memorialization of the 35th president has evolved over time. View this program on YouTube.

SUMMARY:Conflicting Conclusions: The Government Assassination Investigations
DESCRIPTION: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.

SUMMARY:A Ripple of Hope: Film Screening and Conversation with Producer/Director Donald Boggs
DESCRIPTION:A Ripple of Hope is a powerful documentary produced and directed by award-winning filmmaker Dr. Donald Boggs that explores the passion for justice and personal courage that linked Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. in life as well as death. This film traces the events of April 4\, 1968\, when major cities across the United States erupted in riots and fires as news spread of the death of Martin Luther King Jr. Already en route to Indianapolis for a presidential campaign rally\, candidate Kennedy was urged to cancel the rally for his own personal safety. Instead\, he gave an extemporaneous speech that was credited with creating a sense of calm that averted violence in Indianapolis during the chaotic days following Dr. King’s death. \nThis was the final program in support of the temporary photography exhibit\, Rebel Spirits: Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.\, which closes on September 3\, 2018. The program included a film screening of the one-hour documentary\, A Ripple of Hope\, which narrates the events of that tragic day through the voices of those who were there\, including Robert Kennedy’s press secretary Frank Mankiewicz\, U.S. Representative John Lewis\, former U.S. Representative Julia Carson and many more. A discussion with Dr. Boggs followed the screening. View this program on YouTube.

SUMMARY:Gallery Talk - 1960 Campaign Wives
DESCRIPTION:Mrs. Nixon and Mrs. Kennedy both supported their husbands as they campaigned for president but did so in very different ways. Mrs. Nixon accompanied her husband everywhere\, and he referred to her in almost every speech. Mrs. Kennedy hated campaigning and avoided it when possible – aided in part by her pregnancy. This exploration of two unique women and their personalities included clips from the campaign trail as well as 1960 magazines and photographs from the Museum’s collections.
