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 - PT-109 and the 1960 Campaign
DESCRIPTION:On August 2\, 1943\, Lt. John F. Kennedy’s motor torpedo boat PT-109 was sunk in the Pacific Theater.

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.

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.

SUMMARY:Gallery Talk - When LBJ and Lady Bird Came to Dallas in 1960
DESCRIPTION:In the final days of the 1960 campaign\, Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson and his wife Lady Bird were accosted by demonstrators while visiting Dallas.

SUMMARY:Gallery Talk - PT-109 and the 1960 Campaign
DESCRIPTION:On August 2\, 1943\, Lt. John F. Kennedy’s motor torpedo boat PT-109 was sunk in the Pacific Theater. Kennedy\, clenching a life jacket strap between his teeth to tow one injured crewmember\, swam for four hours to lead survivors to a nearby island. This dramatic tale of World War II heroism framed Senator Kennedy’s political narrative as he ran for president in 1960. This discussion of the impact that the PT-109 story had on Kennedy’s life and career included a special screening of a five-minute 1960 campaign commercial hosted by actor Henry Fonda.

SUMMARY:Gallery Talk - Coffee with the Curators

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.

SUMMARY:Teacher Workshop in partnership with The World Affairs Council - Cuba
DESCRIPTION:Cuba\, often at center stage in international affairs\, is again the focus of global attention. After Fidel Castro stepped down after nearly fifty years as Cuba’s leader\, his brother\, Raúl Castro\, embarked upon a series of reforms that are gradually but fundamentally changing the country. The 2014 announcement to normalize Cuba-U.S. relations after over five decades during which the two countries had no diplomatic ties also signified a historic shift. While the 1959 revolution brought opportunities and advances long denied to many Cubans\, others lost property\, jobs\, and the positions they held in Cuban society. Cubans today have very different opinions about their country’s history and its future direction.

SUMMARY:Teacher Workshop - A Time For Greatness: Presidential Elections and Respect
DESCRIPTION:In 1960: LBJ vs. JFK vs. Nixon\, award-winning presidential historian David Pietrusza crafted a revealing\, electrifying portrait of the first modern-day presidential campaign\, the epic battle between Sen. John F. Kennedy and Vice President Richard Nixon. It was the first campaign to utilize the power of television\, the first in which all fifty states would participate and the selection of the first president born in the 20th century. Pietrusza joined Curator Stephen Fagin to discuss the 1960 election\, the larger-than-life personalities at its center and the ways in which that important race helped shaped cross-country campaigning right up to the 2016 race for the White House. This special program kicked off The Sixth Floor Museum’s new exhibit\, A Time for Greatness.
