The 50th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination in November 2013 generated an unprecedented amount of news media attention from around the world. To accomodate local and visiting journalists, The Sixth Floor Museum presented two "open house" news media panel discussions on November 20, 2013. The first featured Museum curators Gary Mack and Stephen Fagin. It may be viewed here on the Museum's YouTube channel: JFK Assassination 50th Anniversary Media Open House - Staff Panel (youtube.com). The second panel discussion featured five individuals who were in some way involved in the events of November 22, 1963. All five panelists had previously recorded oral history interviews with the Museum and four of the five also took part in various public programs over the years.
