The news of the assassination of JFK was broadcast around the world. Until 9/11 it was the biggest news story of my life. Nothing could be more public and at the same time the news hit individuals in a personal way as they stopped on city streets stunned and often crying.\" -- Stephen Fagin, Curator","In addition to this 2016 oral history, Royce Vavrek and David T.
