Museum at Dealey Plaza on May 29, 2013. The program is fifty-seven minutes long.
Curatorial Commentary
This public program marked the publication of my book, Assassination and Commemoration: JFK, Dallas and The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza and also commemorated what would have been the 96th birthday of President John F. Kennedy on May 29, 2013. Remarkably, even though Lindalyn Adams and Conover Hunt worked closely for more than a decade on The Sixth Floor exhibit project, this was the first - and only - time that the two of them publicly discussed their experiences together.
In addition to this Museum recording for the Oral History Collection, the program was concurrently recorded by C-SPAN as part of the long-running Book TV series. The episode first aired on July 1, 2013 and may be accessed on the C-SPAN website: [Assassination and Commemoration] | C-SPAN.org
