Join the Durham Museum at noon today in the College of Nursing, Room 1010 for a lecture titled, “The Kennedy Assassination: History’s Greatest Turning Point?” as Smithsonian scholar and professor Peter Kuznick, Ph.D., takes a fresh look at the Kennedy presidency.
Dr. Kuznick will examine what Kennedy and his advisers learned from the crises of the early administration, possible motives for the assassination, and conjecture where Kennedy’s leadership would have led the country had he lived.
The lecture is offered through the Time Travelers partnership.
The partnership provides free museum admission for medical center employees, students and their immediate family with valid identification, while also offering lectures, workshops and other events on the medical center campus.
Dr. Kuznick is associate professor of history and director of the Nuclear Studies Institute at American University in Washington. He currently is in his second three-year term as Distinguished Lecturer for the Organization of American Historians.
Dr. Kuznick has lectured and written extensively on the 1960s. Dr. Kuznick also has also written two, soon-to-be-released documentary films on the 1960s — one focused on the early Cold War and the other about the Kennedy years — in collaboration with Hollywood producer Oliver Stone.
Employees are encouraged to bring their lunches to Dr. Kuznick’s presentation.
