What this episode covers

On episode eleven of American History Too! we delve into one of the most chilling moments in US history – the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22nd, 1963. To aid us in the voyage through fear, conspiracy, and legend we are joined by the University of Glasgow’s Fraser McCallum. What is uncontested about that day? What are the most plausible and most outlandish conspiracy theories to prosper in the fifty years since the assassination? Why do these conspiracies matter? And how were Lyndon Johnson and Bobby Kennedy the original conspiracy theorists? Finally, does the myth of the fallen President match the reality of the Kennedy presidency?
