Description
Do you have memories of JFK's 1963 visit to Fort Worth? Maybe just curious about his final days in Texas? If so, then join us this month when Stephen Fagin, Curator of the Sixth Floor Museum, brings us the story of the assassination from the Kennedy's arrival at Carswell AFB to the burial of Lee Harvey Oswald at Rose Hill Cemetery. Based on the remembrances of those who were there and supported by remarkable historic photographs from the museum collection, Fagin's narrative will highlight Fort Worth in the broader context of the assassination. The Museum’s ongoing Oral History Project, which includes 2,500 interviews, adds about 80 new contributions each year. If you remember the Kennedy's trip to Fort Worth, then come prepared. Your story could be the next addition to the collection.
