JFK is Conversations at BSC topic Nov. 4
Bismarck State College holds its second Conversations at BSC, “JFK: The Man, the Myth, and the Assassination” on Sunday, Nov. 4, at 3 p.m. Sidney J. Lee Auditorium.
BSC President Larry C. Skogen and humanities scholar Clay Jenkinson will begin discussion of the life of President John F. Kennedy in preparation for a symposium in fall 2013. BSC, the Dakota Institute, and the State Historical Society of North Dakota are planning a three-day conference on the 35th president’s promise and achievement in the 50th year after his assassination.
Skogen and Jenkinson will review the principle achievements of the Kennedy administration, Vice President Lyndon Johnson’s efforts to achieve Kennedy’s legislative agenda, and the legacy of the fourth presidential assassination in American history.
Context will include the premise that Kennedy’s martyred death on Nov. 22, 1963, after just 1,000 days in office, has largely resulted in the American people projecting on him their idealism, the promise of the 1960s and realization of Camelot.
More programs are scheduled Dec. 16, Jan. 27, March 24 and May 5. Visit the Conversations at BSC website at bismarckstate.edu/community/conversations/, or contact BSC Continuing Education, Training & Innovation at 224-5600 for more information.
