The Kennedy Assassination
Sara Albert

The assassination of John F Kennedy is a day that will live forever etched in our nations mind. Using this project I want to show the depth of knowledge and understanding we can gleam from one tragic day in history. The topics that can be brought to light using the assassination are numerous and include: The Bay of Pigs, The Cuban Missile Crisis, The Civil Rights Movement and the Mafia, just to name a few. Through the lens of the assassination we get a better picture of what life was like during the early 1960's.
