Since the 1960s historians have been trying to assemble an accurate story that weaves together the shadowy trinity of cuban revolutionaries, secretive three letter agencies, and powerful organized crime families with the fate of JFK. With us for the discussion of what those files will reveal is Louis Ferrante, former member of the Gambino crime family. Check out his books on the history of the Mafia and their involvement with the Kennedy family below.PART 2 of this interview: https://youtu.be/qvyoZCj3_AYPATREONget episodes early + join our weekly Patron Chat https://bit.ly/3lcAasBMERCHRock some DemystifySci gear : https://demystifysci.myspreadshop.com/allAMAZONDo your shopping through this link: https://amzn.to/3YyoT98SUBSTACKhttps://substack.com/@UCqV4_7i9h1_V7hY48eZZSLw@demystifysci(00:00) Go!

Few Americans of any color or creed have had a legal career as historically rich or significant as Thelton Henderson. One of the earliest African-American graduates of Boult law school at UC Berkeley, Henderson was the first black attorney for the civil rights division of the US Department of Justice, going down to Mississippi in 1963 where he become familiar with MLK and many other civil rights leaders. He later became a Federal judge where he pioneered historic legal decisions regarding racial, environmental and gay rights. So it was a real honor for me to have the opportunity to sit down with Henderson at his Berkeley home to talk about his childhood, his memories of the Sixties and why, in his view, the success of the civil rights movement was as dependent on radicals like Malcolm X and Stokely Carmichael as it was on MLK and other moderates. And then, of course, there is Henderson's own relationship with America which, like so many African-Americans, is tangled and frayed. No, he confessed, he won't be celebrating raucously in 2026 on the 250th birthday of the American Republic. Especially if, as Henderson fears, a certain Donald J Trump, who he likens to Hitler, is once again President. Judge Thelton E. Henderson is a world-renowned federal judge whose commitment to advancing civil rights spans six decades and three continents. He was the first African American lawyer assigned to field service in the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Civil Rights Division, where he worked alongside Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. As the second African American federal judge in the Northern District of California and its first African American chief judge, he authored groundbreaking civil rights decisions.  Born in Louisiana, Judge Henderson left the Jim Crow South with his mother and grandmother for Los Angeles. He excelled academically and athletically, becoming one of the first African Americans to earn a football scholarship to UC Berkeley. After serving in the Army, he returned as one of two African Americans at Berkeley Law. He graduated in 1962 and joined the DOJ. At the height of the Civil Rights movement, Judge Henderson was posted in the Deep South to gather information on voter suppression and monitor opposition to Dr. King's peaceful demonstrations. After Henderson loaned Dr. King his rental car for a Selma rally, Alabama Governor George Wallace inaccurately told the press that a “high ranking” DOJ official had driven Dr. King to Selma. Rather than worsen a public relations problem for the Kennedy Administration, Henderson resigned. Returning to California, Judge Henderson helped establish, and directed, one of the first federally funded legal aid offices in the U.S. He was appointed Assistant Dean of Stanford Law School and launched its pioneering minority admissions program, which was replicated nationwide. In 1980, Judge Henderson was appointed to the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of California. His courageous decisions included declaring prison overcrowding unconstitutional; placing the California prison system under monitoring to prevent cruel and unusual punishment; ruling for the first time in U.S. history that gays and lesbians are entitled to equal protection; declaring unconstitutional a law that eliminated affirmative action; and upholding environmental protections. He has advocated for civil rights globally, helping develop strategies to end apartheid. After retiring from the court in 2017, Henderson taught at Berkeley Law, where the Thelton E. Henderson Center for Social Justice advances his vision for a better world. Among his many awards are the American Bar Association's Thurgood Marshall Award, the California State Bar Bernard Witkin Medal and UC Berkeley's 2008 Alumnus of the Year Award. At over 90 years strong, Judge Henderson remains a beacon for democracy, liberty and equality.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

Hemispheric foreign policy has waxed and waned since the Mexican War, and the Cold War presented both extraordinary promises and dangerous threats to U.S.-Latin American cooperation.  In Hemispheric Alliances: Liberal Democrats and Cold War Latin America (UNC Press, 2022), Andrew J. Kirkendall examines the strengths and weaknesses of new models for U.S.-Latin American relations created by liberal Democrats who came to the fore during the Kennedy Administration and retained significant influence until the Reagan era. Rather than exerting ironfisted power in Latin America, liberal Democrats urged Washington to be a moral rather than a militaristic leader in hemispheric affairs. Decolonization, President Eisenhower's missteps in Latin America, and the Cuban Revolution all played key roles in the Kennedy administration's Alliance for Progress, which liberal Democrats hailed as a new cornerstone for U.S.-Latin American foreign policy. During the Vietnam War era, liberal Democrats began to incorporate human rights more centrally into their agendas, using Latin America as the primary arena for these policies. During the long period of military dictatorship in much of Latin America and the Caribbean, liberal Democrats would see their policies dissolved by the Nixon, Reagan, and Bush administrations who favored militant containment of both communism and absolutism.

Paola Harris, M.Ed., first met Lt. Col. Philip Corso during the 50th anniversary of the Roswell UFO Crash in July 1997. He was the author of the newly released New York Times bestseller, The Day After Roswell, where he revealed his participation in the classified study and reverse engineering of captured extraterrestrial technologies from the Roswell UFO crash. In addition to disclosing that he was confidentially briefing Attorney General Robert Kennedy on UFOs during the Kennedy Administration, Corso also told Harris about his direct physical contact with a stranded extraterrestrial while a commander of an Army missile facility at White Sands Missile Range in the 1950s. Harris has been researching UFO cases since 1979, and in the subsequent decades, she has traveled extensively to interview leading UFO whistleblowers, researchers, and ET contactees worldwide. She has written multiple books recording her interviews and teaches courses for the Exopolitics Institute's Certificate Program.

Eastern Oregon residents feel their conservative values are more attuned to Western Idaho and would like to redraw the state lines. President Biden reverses the color scheme for Air Force One to the blue and white from the Kennedy Administration. (The former guy picked a handsome color palette; it was not feasible due to heat displacement according to the Air Force.) Finally, read the small print when signing a release for a photo shoot.

The Pinchot Family's places in American history is a long and at times complicated one. David S. Patterson brings an examination of three generations in his new book, "The Pinchots: A Family Saga" to the Sunbury Press Books Show. The Pinchot name is one that winds its way through Pennsylvania and US history, dating back to the American Civil War. Gifford Pinchot is noted for his work in conservation as head of the then Division of Forestry under President William McKinley, and served as head of the re-named US Forest Service through the administrations of Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft. His early relationship with Roosevelt kept him involved in political circles with connections through the time of the Kennedy Administration. Pinchot's forays into politics included two terms as Governor of Pennsylvania, and three unsuccessful campaigns for the US Senate. Other members of the Pinchot family are featured, all of whom espoused values of public service, as well as activism in the arts, culture and politics, with their own personal stories, triumphs and tragedies. David S. Patterson earned his Ph.D. in history from the University of California, Berkeley, has taught deplomatic and peace history.

This book is not exactly a biography, since it is an interesting analysis not just of Kennedy himself as president, but also the context in which Kennedy is considered, understood, and positioned. Coming to Terms with John F. Kennedy (UP of Kansas, 2022) is also a kind of intellectual autobiography of Knott himself, and his evolving consideration of Kennedy as president, but also Kennedy within our collective imaginaries. Knott started his career at the JFK Library in Massachusetts, and he traces how this initial encounter with Kennedy hagiography and the protection of the Kennedy idea contributed to his own skepticism about Kennedy as president. At the same time, Knott has spent much of his intellectual career researching and analyzing presidents from George Washington to Joe Biden, and he has come back to Kennedy to re-evaluate his own assessment of this famous and tragic president, and, importantly, the reality of President John F. Kennedy as opposed to the sanitized and mythologized version of the 35th president. Coming to Terms with John F. Kennedy re-examines the historical touchstones of the Kennedy Administration, digging into what really happened during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the kinds of concessions that were made to Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, instead of the cinematic heroics of the way this incident is usually portrayed. Knott also explores the critique of Kennedy in regard to civil rights and racial progress—re-assessing the more critical narrative about Kennedy and his disconnection from these issues—finding, instead, that Kennedy was moving forward with caution but with commitment. Kennedy's words themselves are also a key focus of the book—from the best-known speeches to more obscure presentations of presidential rhetoric. And while JFK is often lauded for his oratory, Knott makes the case that the appeal in Kennedy's speeches and rhetoric is to our better angels, as citizens and as a country, which is particularly important to understanding the role and place of the United States in this post-WWII period. This analysis positions Kennedy within a rather rarified pantheon as one of America's top orators—with speeches that reflected a patriotic literacy, advocating for unity, and appealing to reason. This is a fascinating book, graceful and accessible in the writing, and interesting in the many threads woven together to consider Kennedy's presidency itself and the position it occupies in American history and our understanding of the United States.

In 1961, an multiracial group of intrepid "Freedom Riders" attempted to desegregate bus stations in some of the most militantly segregationist parts of the Deep South. These courageous civil rights activists, including John Lewis, Diane Nash, Jim Zwerg, and James Peck, encountered shocking violence in the State of Alabama. A bus they were taking was burned down, and several Riders were bloodied & beaten by organized vigilantes who opposed racial integration. Once photographic images & film footage of this brutality received international media coverage, the Kennedy Administration finally intervened to force desegregation of interstate travel facilities. Southern politicians then attempted to get revenge by tricking busloads of impoverished African-American Southerners to head north in the so-called "Reverse Freedom Rides." Meanwhile, Cold War tensions continued to heat up, as the Vienna Summit between John F. Kennedy & Nikita Khrushchev failed to reach a solution to the Berlin crisis, leading the Communists to construct the Berlin Wall to keep East Germans from moving into the capitalist West. Decolonization continued to free global populations from European imperialism, including a violent struggle that gained Algerian independence from France. Some new nations sought neutral non-alignment, while others allied with the Communist bloc. JFK tried to keep these new Third World nations from siding with the Soviets via aid programs such as Food for Peace, the Peace Corps, and the Alliance for Progress in Latin America. However, there was a more coercive side to these US Cold War efforts, as the Kennedy Administration also funded CIA interference into foreign politics, anti-Communist military buildups in Latin nations, and an escalation of US military commitment in South Vietnam. The year closed on an ominous note as both the USA & the USSR began escalating defense spending and nuclear testing.Support the show

BPF wraps up our fascinating time with Mr. Meredith with excerpts from his powerful 1961 letter to the Kennedy Administration regarding his rights as an American citizen.

This episode opens with President Richard Nixon's March 1974 visit to the Grand Ole Opry.  Nixon was there to open the brand new Opry House on its first night after moving from downtown Nashville's Ryman Auditorium. It is a symbol of the one section of the country that never wavered, as President Nixon's problems mounted. In the South, we don't cut and run, especially when it is a President that stood strong during war time as this President had done. Unfortunately, the public support was not translating to the Judiciary Committee's three influential Democratic Congressmen Representatives Walter Flowers of Alabama,  Ray Thornton of Arkansas, and Jim Mann of my home state of South Carolina. They were moving toward impeachment, undercutting the President's support in their states delegations. President Nixon sensing the momentum shifting away from him, reached out to Governor George Wallace of Alabama to see if he could not help him sway Walter Flowers, when Wallace refused, it was the moment President Nixon knew this fight was lost. He would lose the southern firewall that stood between himself and Impeachment.  The President was also having trouble holding his Republicans together as Representatives William Cohen, Tom Railsback, W. Caldwell Butler, and Lawrence Hogan had decided to side with the democrats. As we listen in on the debate in this episode, you will hear these men, as some struggle to vote their conscience, and some make their decision in  matter of fact fashion. You  will get to hear the moments of high drama and one speech that has been an enormous part of the history of the moment from Representative Barbara Jordan of Texas. Jordan's speech contained many charges, most notably  was that of Howard Hunt faking cables to embarrass the Kennedy Administration and involvement in the overthrow of the South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem.  While that charge of Hunt faking cables tying Kennedy personally to the assassination of Diem was faked, it was faked by a man who, as a member of the CIA, had seen the real ones that had tied Kennedy to the overthrow of the Diem Government.  A fact hidden from the public and Barbara Jorden for  years afterwards. This is but one of many examples of charges made that with time, unsealed documents, and an explosive set of Church Hearings in the United States Senate would later be proven untrue. All to late for Watergate and Richard Nixon. But the President did have defenders,   Representatives Charlie Wiggins of California and Charlie Sandman of New Jersey.  The case they made has, in reality, stood the test of time and you will hear it in this episode too. Plus we will dismantle the mythology of the Watergate debate that the defense case was dismantled by a hearing full of specific accusations concerning the President that overwhelmed his defenders and that President Nixon's attorney, James St. Claire, was actually able to perform a real defense of the President. Neither was true and you will hear it here for yourself.  Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

There are few presidents as highly regarded and as misunderstood as John F. Kennedy. The horrific death of the 35th president froze him in time, allowing his legacy to be crafted by those who wished to see him lionized, while squeezing out the critique all presidents must face in order for the nation to learn from their successes and failures. In "Coming to Terms with John F. Kennedy," Dr. Stephen Knott explores his personal journey in understanding JFK, while also examining the most hotly-debated aspects of the Kennedy Administration, which lasted less than three years. From Civil Rights to Vietnam to Kennedy's personal life, Knott parses the myths to give us a more complete picture of one of the most complicated men to ever serve as America's chief executive.Dr. Knott can be reached on social media at https://twitter.com/publius57His website is https://www.stephenfknott.com/More information on his book from University of Kansas Press can be found at https://kansaspress.ku.edu/9780700633654/coming-to-terms-with-john-f-kennedy/Support our show at https://patreon.com/axelbankhistory**A portion of every contribution is given to a charity for children's literacy** "Axelbank Reports History and Today" can be found on social media at https://twitter.com/axelbankhistory https://instagram.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://facebook.com/axelbankhistory

What is Agent Orange and why did the Kennedy Administration decide to use it?    How did Diem's Regime collapse?   What was the Buddhist Crisis? Time Period Covered 1961 - 1963 In the final part of our exploration into the beginnings of the "Vietnam War", we look at the circumstances surrounding the early Kennedy years and how a 'prudent' approach to South Vietnam resulted in a number of problems, both immediate and in the future. We look in depth at Operation Ranch Hand, the decision to use defoliants in South Vietnam, as well as how the Diem Regime becomes a no longer viable partner for the US and their wider strategic interests. We explain the Buddhist Crisis and the self-immolation of Quang Duc and the competing visions of a new South Vietnam. Finally the coup against Diem, Kennedy's assassination as well as the return of Pol Pot to the jungles of Vietnam represents a new chapter in the coming historical hurricane.

Synopsis When boomers wax nostalgic about the Kennedy Administration, it's Lerner & Loewe's musical “Camelot” they start to hum. After all, “Camelot” opened in 1960 just a month after John F. Kennedy was elected, and, a week after his assassination in 1963, Jacqueline Kennedy told historian Theodore H. White that they owned the original cast album and liked to play it before retiring at night. She quoted a phrase—"one brief shining moment"—from “Camelot's title song as how she wished his presidency to be remembered. But early in 1961, everyone was looking forward, not backwards. The President-elect had asked Frank Sinatra to help arrange a musical gala to be held on January 19, 1961, the eve of his Inauguration, and Leonard Bernstein was tapped to represent classical music. Bernstein had known Kennedy since the mid-1950s, and, after all, they both were Harvard men. As luck would have it, a rare blizzard hit Washington D.C. that night, snarling traffic, and a police escort had to rush Bernstein to the Gala. There was no time for him to change into formal attire, so Bernstein appeared onstage in a hastily-borrowed and much-too-large dress shirt to conduct the world premiere of his “Fanfare for JFK.” After the premiere of his “Fanfare,” Bernstein conducted a more familiar wind band standard—Sousa's "The Stars and Stripes Forever." Music Played in Today's Program Leonard Bernstein (1918 - 1990) — Fanfare for JFK ()

Darrell Castle talks about last Tuesday's election results and tries to make some sense out of what happened. Transcription / Notes WHAT CAUSED THE RED WAVE? Hello this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is the 5th day of November in this the year of our Lord 2021 and on this report, I will be talking about last Tuesday's election results and looking for an answer to what caused the massive swing in voter sentiment that turned so many traditionally blue offices into a sea of red. Was it as the president described it, just a bunch of extremely conservative Trump supporters along with people upset because congress has delayed passage of build back better boondoggles. I will start by saying that I don't think President Biden is correct in his explanation of the results. In fact, his reasoning makes me think he is at minimum borderline delusional. To say that the American people are so upset that congress is reluctant to pass his trillion-dollar spending bills and they took it out on unsuspecting Democrats at the polls is delusional, but I suppose he had to think of something that was not his fault. Surely, he understands that the American people can see that his unrestrained money creation in the face of steadily rising prices is causing extreme hardship. He is in the pocket, the purse, the kitchen, and the business of every American family. He and his party have rejected the problems of the middle class working American and last Tuesday those workers gave him the middle finger. Every time a person goes to the store and hamburger is 50 cents or a dollar more per pound and at the gas station the cost is 50 cents or a dollar more per gallon that family just took a pay cut. If they work for a small business as most people do, then that business probably can not afford to raise wages. If they work for a large company that can afford to raise wages, then those pay raises are passed on to customers and inflation is thereby fueled ultimately making the situation even worse. The president tells us that his new spending proposals will be free of tax increases for those making less than $400,000 per year. First of all, theft is theft whether the victim can afford it or not, but also the increased spending taxes and economically kills the working people for the very reasons listed above. Every increase in the cost of living is a tax born by working people, but not so much by the moneyed class. I therefore conclude that he and the radical left of his party are delusional and completely out of touch and out of empathy for the average working American. People don't want his handouts in an effort to salve some of the problems he created. Oh, they will take them as most won't reject free money, but what they really want and what they need is a good paying job with some dignity. That's quite a formula the Democrats have, first destroy the economy, then try to repair it by printing free money for their cronies thus fueling massive inflation. Yes, there are some economic geniuses working in this administration. Let me change direction for a minute and talk about what happened, at least in the state of Virginia. That state conducts its statewide elections in odd numbered years and restricts the governor to one term although a second term is OK once a term is missed. That is what happened with the Democrat candidate Terry McAuliffe who was seeking a second term after missing a term. He was beaten by two points by Glenn Youngkin who has never held political office. Republican Winsome Sears a Jamaican immigrant who joined the Marine Corps to gain citizenship, was elected Lieutenant Governor. She presents a wonderfully emotional story of her family coming to America with $1.75 and nothing else back during the Kennedy Administration. She is an example, a living example, of what can be accomplished in America no matter what color you are. If that were all it would be plenty but there's more. Republican Jason Miyares,

Georgia Representative John Lewis was a fixture in the civil rights movement and in Congress for 60 years until his death in 2020. In this episode, we look back at his early years during the Kennedy Administration and revisit the legacy of courage he left behind. Joining us in this podcast is longtime civil rights activist Ambassador Andrew Young and Kabir Sehgal who co-wrote the book “Carry On,” with Rep. John Lewis.

Even though we were already involved, this was the event that really started us down the long road to a full scale land war in Asia. Strangely, to this day no one knows exactly for sure what happened in the middle of the night on the other side of the world. Most likely, nothing. But the supposed attack on the U.S.S. Maddox and U. S. S.  C. Turner Joy led to a retaliatory strike against North Vietnam and then the Johnson Administration seeking a resolution from Congress that would unshackle it and allow it to wage war in Vietnam. Not only are the events that happened in the night shrouded in mystery so are the events that led to Lyndon Johnson's announcements and his decision to retaliate. The entire thing begged a question that was  raised against the next President in another situation more famously, but it still applies to the Gulf of Tonkin and Lyndon Johnson too. What did the President know and when did he know it? Did Lyndon Johnson's Defense Secretary, a holdover from the Kennedy Administration, ever tell him that there was  evidence that the two ships may actually have never been fired upon at all and the entire thing could have been the results of " an over eager sonar man and freak weather effects"  Here listen to accounts from the military men who were actually there that night as they retold it to the The Learning Channel in its documentary "The Johnson Tapes" and then listen to the actual phone calls to and from Lyndon Johnson and his Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, and then listen as Johnson's aids describe a man who torturously analyzed the situation trying to figure out any way he could avoid escalating  involvement in Vietnam into a full scale Land War in Asia. 

November 1963, was a month that changed the trajectory of American History.  During the summer of 1963, President John F. Kennedy and the Kennedy Administration grew increasingly frustrated with the South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem and his increasingly dictatorial ways in running the government. When Ambassador , and Republican, Henry Cabot Lodge pushed Diem to remove his brother General Ngo from command of the Army, and Diem refused, a coup by the other Generals in South Vietnam was given a tacit go ahead. That led to the assassination of Diem and the overthrow of his government. After a decade of stability the South Vietnamese government fell into a state of constant chaos.Vice President Lyndon Johnson, who had met with and supported Diem, knew almost nothing about the permission given for the coup. He only discovered it as it happened. Johnson had been a masterful politician as a member  of the United States Senate. He was a man who dreamed big dreams for his country in domestic policy, but he had not been an expert in foreign policy. As Vice President he had been relegated to the role of a ceremonial representative for the Kennedy administration. The Kennedy's distrusted and disliked him, going so far at one point to have an ambitious  Robert Kennedy send an un-coded message to a foreign government that Johnson in no way spoke for the Kennedy Administration. Johnson even feared he may be dumped from the ticket in the coming 1964 campaign.On November 22, 1963, just 20 days after the assassination of Diem, everything changed.  A horrific moment in American History unfolded in Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas. John F. Kennedy was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald and Lyndon Johnson was catapulted into the White House, having been intentionally kept in the dark, with little working knowledge of what the long term strategy was in South Vietnam. He decided to keep the Kennedy Cabinet in place and listening to their advice he wrestled with what to do in Vietnam. Here is the story of this faithful month , November 1963, and how it made an indigenous, civil war in Vietnam,  OUR WAR,  and led to the loss of 50,000 American soldiers, as we struggled to fight back the high tide of communism in South East Asia. 

Sometimes we get so caught up with sharing the latest releases, we don't get to play some of our old favourites. So this episode, just like your favourite dad rock band, we're breaking out the Greatest Hits. These new episodes come from chart topping podcasts that have been around for a while. And like classic tunes, these gems will stick with you. Podcasts featured: Aria Code: "Gioachino Rossini's operatic version of the Cinderella story may not have any enchanted mice or pumpkins, but there's plenty of magic in the music." Mortified: "Celebrate the majesty and musicality of self-proclaimed band geeks." The Feast: "Almost sixty years ago to the day, President John F Kennedy and his wife Jacqueline hosted the largest state dinner of the Kennedy Administration. Invited to the White House for a special 'brains dinner' in April 1962 were 49 Nobel laureates, along with Pulitzer Prize winners, noted actors, and Poet Laureates. What happened the night Robert Frost dined with J. Robert Oppenheimer? How did James Baldwin get on with Mary Welsh Hemingway? On this episode, we speak with Joseph A. Esposito, author of 'Dinner in Camelot: The Night America's Greatest Scientists, Writers, and Scholars Partied at the Kennedy White Hous'" to discuss the dinner and its impressive guest list." The Truth: "When two actors on different coasts show up to a mysterious voiceover audition, a sadistic director keeps making things weirder."

It's the early 1960s and America is at the height of her power. Today, we're going to look at the Kennedy Administration and the culture surrounding this mythic golden age.

October horror is around the corner and GOM is talking about the scariest moment in history, the Cuban Missile Crisis. Thirteen Days, the film made in the year 2000 depicting the Kennedy Administration's decisions for a peaceful outcome. Enjoy!!

1971 One year after the courts forced Mississippi to fully integrate its K -12 public schools, the newly-formed Mississippi Center for Oral History at the University of Southern Mississippi sat down with former governor Ross Barnett to discuss his life and career in politics. Barnett was a good storyteller and had much to share about his childhood and career as a young attorney. During his tenure as governor from 1960-64, Barnett worked hard to bring much needed industry to Mississippi and had several large-scale construction projects of which to boast. But his views and actions as an unrepentant segregationist have rightfully defined his place in history. This episode focuses on his memories and opinions surrounding that time. Barnett campaigned as a diehard segregationist, promising to maintain the status quo in Mississippi as the winds of change in America began to blow in earnest. That promise would soon be put to the test when a young African American named James Meredith attempted to enroll at the all-white University of Mississippi. After a Supreme Court ruling in his favor, Meredith was finally allowed to enroll at Ole’ Miss in 1962. When President Kennedy sent in troops to enforce the court’s ruling, the standoff turned into a riot. Three years after the riot at Ole’ Miss, it was revealed that Barnett had been in secret negotiations with the Kennedy Administration. He shares his version of those events. The Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission tried to maintain racial segregation by investigating civil rights workers and through public relations campaigns. Barnett discusses traveling the country presenting his views and the hostile reception he received in Michigan. Segregationists claimed the Civil Rights Movement was really a plot to destroy America. In the interview, Barnett argues why integration would ultimately fail and how the communists were involved. Caution: this episode of Mississippi Moments contains racially derogatory language.

This week Autumn and Mackenzie are taking their seats around the round table and discussing the classic musical Camelot! Listen in as Mackenzie and Autumn debate whether or not. the concept of Camelot is achievable in our day and age. In this episode they discuss the eerie connections this musical has to JFK and the Kennedy Administration, importance of this musical in our current political climate and if the good guys like Arthur ever actually win. Don't forget to leave us a review and share your thoughts on this episode on our social media pages. Follow the links below to reach our pages. Facebook Instagram Twitter

This week we chat with Matthew Hannibal Butler about which of life's truths can be gleaned from the Kennedy-favourite musical - Camelot!"A 1993 review in The New York Times commented that the musical "has grown in stature over the years, primarily because of its superb score ... [which] combined a lyrical simplicity with a lush romanticism, beautifully captured in numbers like 'I Loved You Once in Silence' and 'If Ever I Would Leave You.' These ballads sung by Guenevere and Lancelot are among the most memorable in the Lerner-Loewe catalogue. King Arthur supplies the wit, with songs like 'I Wonder What the King Is Doing Tonight.'"Listen to Matthew's Podcast here: thatsnotcanon.com/deliciouswordsandwichpodcastFURTHER READING:Camelot (musical)Camelot (film)Alan Jay LernerFrederick LoeweThe Once and Future King.Kennedy AdministrationJulie AndrewsRichard BurtonRobert Goulethttps://open.spotify.com/album/5Fp6Y3gNufwzUeEBxuOZpohttps://music.apple.com/us/album/camelot-original-1960-broadway-cast-recording/158476378Camelot: The Musical, A History By Matthew Hannibal ButlerBy Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick LoweA History By Matthew Hannibal ButlerCamelotis an oft forgotten and underrated musical masterpiece by the iconic duo Lerner and Lowe, first premiering with Sir Richard Burton as King Arthur and Dame Julie Andrews as Guinevere, with Robert Goulet as the dashing Sir Lancelot. They did not have these titles when it premiered in 1960 at the Majestic Theatre, but I thought it was a nice touch considering their royal counterparts.Camelotis inspired by the definitive Arthurian novel The Once and Future King by T.H. White, a four book saga consisting of the iconic Sword in the Stone,The Witch in the Woods, The Ill-Made Knight and finally The Candle in the Wind. The musical mainly focuses on the events of this final instalment detailing with the last weeks of Arthur’s reign, the machinations and ultimately revolts by his son Mordred, Guinevere and Lancelot’s demise, and the tragic king’s final reflections of right and wrong. For all its levity, what I adore about this musical’s story is its choice to focus on one of the greatest tragedies in western folklore: The Fall of Camelot.As you can tell, I am an Arthurian lore fanatic, and T.H. White’s book, in my opinion, is the best classic interpretation of King Arthur. A tragedy of this musical is, in my opinion, that it did not inspire more interest in White’s marvellous book.Lerner and Lowe, as well as Camelot’s original director Moss Hart, were all coming from the chaotic universal success of their musical My Fair Lady and their musical film Gigi. Tensions and stakes were high. ‘Twas the classic tale of ‘What’s next?’ after tremendous success. Hart and Lerner decided upon T.H. White’s quintessential fantasy published in 1958 for their next musical. For a very small background on White, he wrote the bulk of the series in Ireland as a conscientious objector of the second World War between 1938 and 1941, thus writing a distinctly anti-war, anti-violent story engrained with western identity. To adapt this at this time, just before Kennedy’s escalation of the Vietnam War is a right proper noble gambit worthy of Arthur, let me tell you.Frederick Lowe initially had no interest in the project, but agreed to write the score on the condition that, if it went badly, it would be his last. This do or die spirit, I found, reigned throughout the whole production, in spite of everything, and made it the suitably tragic triumph that it became. There were several problems plaguing the production, not least of which was Lerner’s wife leaving him during its writing, causing him to seek medical attention. I can’t help but surmise this informs one of the most poignant moments of the play, when Arthur realises the feelings shared between Lancelot and Guinevere and he thus soliloquises about his love for his kingdom, his purpose and in truth his friends will ensure that they will together nonetheless prevail through all challenges.During its initial previews, it overran drastically. It was supposed to be two hours and forty minutes, instead it clocked in at a casual four and a half hours with the curtain coming down at twenty to 1 in the morning. Lerner later noted, “Only Tristan and Isolde equalled it as a bladder endurance contest”. In spite of this trial, positive reviews still generally prevailed though with an insistence much work needed yet. With drastic editing to be done, Lerner was hospitalised for three weeks with a bleeding ulcer, then Hart tagged into the hospital just as Lerner tagged out with his second heart attack.Cutting it down became a stubborn quest, for Lerner did not want to make dramatic decisions without Hart. Alas, Jose Ferrer of Cyrano de Bergerac fame was unable to step in, and so it goes as Lerner wrote: “God knows what would have happened had it not been for Richard Burton.” He accepted cuts and changes all while radiating faith and geniality to calm the fears of the cast. A King off and on the stage. Meanwhile, ever the Queen, last minute changes were so dramatic that literally at the last minute before the New York preview Julie Andrews was given the iconic number “Before I Gaze At You Again”, simply remarking “Of course, darling, but do try to get it to me the night before”.With Hart returned, literally and figuratively, cuts and edits continued. The New York critics’ reviews of the original production were mixed. However, My Fair Lady’s fifth anniversary approached and Ed Sullivan wanted to do a tribute segment on his show. Lerner and Lowe chose to mainly perform highlights from Camelot on the show, and so it was their new show achieved an unprecedented advance sale of three and a half million dollars.Now that’s perseverance, even when things are going haywire, you raise the stakes even higher! This served also to make Robert Goulet a household name with his signature ballad, “If Ever I would Leave You” becoming the Once and Future Belter.Camelot had its initial run. In such time, it gained many an award, including four Tony Awards, with Richard Burton for Best Leading Actor, naturally Best Scenic Design and Best Costume Design, with Franz Allers for Best Conductor and Musical Director and finally with Julie Andrews being ROBBED and fetching a nomination for Best Leading Actress.Robert Goulet became a STAR with appearances on the Danny Thomas and Ed Sullivan Shows, and the stellar, and frankly best, original cast recording became a favourite bedtime listening for President John F. Kennedy, who was Lerner’s classmate at Harvard University. His favourite lines from the final reprise of the titular song became well-documented, and forever associated Camelot, with all its idealism and sheen, with the Kennedy Administration.Small sidenote, to enjoy this tremendous score, the best buck starts and ends with the original cast soundtrack.Alas, the obstacles encountered in producing Camelot were hard on the creative partnership of Lerner and Loewe, the show turning out to be one of their last collaborations. Camelot was indeed Hart’s last Broadway show, dying of a heart attack on December 20, 1961.Since the original production, Richard Burton reprised his role as Arthur with Christine Ebersole as Guinevere and Richard Muenz as Lancelot. Then ‘twas revived in 1981 with Richard Harris as Arthur, Meg Bussert as Guinevere, Muenz once more as Sir Lancelot. This version can be found three parts on the YouTubes. Harris starred in the tragic for all the wrong reasons film, but proved he was the jewel in that particular crown for he took the show to tour nationwide with Muenz. A curious Broadway Revival also ran in 1993 with Robert Goulet now King Arthur.There was then in 2007 Michael York as King Arthur, Rachel York, no relation, as Guinevere and the disgraced James Barbour ironically as Lancelot.Alas, I have not been able to see Michael York as King Arthur, as that is inspired casting.The final production I have had the honour of seeing was in 2008, since alas taken down from the YouTubes, where the New York Philharmonic presented five semi-staged concerts of Camelot with Gabriel Byrne as a more contemplative and subdued King Arthur, Marin Mazzie as Guenevere, and Nathan Gunn as Lancelot. What made this production stand out for me was it didn’t overdo anything, as this musical can oft be overwhelming, and also it featured Christopher Lloyd as Pellinore, a role I feel he was destined to do. Oh, if only they had done a spin-off adventure story starring Christopher Lloyd as Pellinore in his endless hunt for the Questing Beast.All in all, the history of Camelot I think reflects it perfectly for better or ill. It is not a universally appealing production. In my opinion, it was never destined to be, considering its content and style. It is very chatty, pontificating and philosophical, yet with its simply magic score, a lush fantastical world, sweeping tragic romance and swashbuckling glory, when it connects with people it connects as firmly as the sword in the stone.Like us on Facebook!

In this episode of How We Got Here, the newly uncovered tale of a 16-year-old heroine from Hopewell, Virginia, who rode through the night to expose a British plot to crush the American rebellion. Also, the Commonwealth’s dug-in defiance over a landmark court decision to integrate public schools. Why the Kennedy Administration apologized for getting the first celebration of a national holiday all wrong. And - get ready to dust up on 10th grade American History - we go old-school with the Monroe Doctrine. And finally, in their own words - the heroes of Pearl Harbor recount that horrific day that catapulted the United States into the hell of World War 2.

On this July 16th, the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11, Michael Shermer speaks with veteran space reporter Charles Fishman who has been writing about NASA and the space program for more than 30 years. In One Giant Leap he delivers an all-new take on the race to the Moon that puts Apollo into a new perspective in American history. Yes, the Apollo astronauts are the well-known and well-deserved public heroes of the race to the Moon. But the astronauts didn’t make the trip possible. It took 410,000 people to make the moon landings achievable. Every hour of spaceflight for Apollo required a million hours of work by scientists, engineers and factory workers on the ground — the equivalent of 10 lifetimes of work back on Earth. Fishman tells the story of the men and women who did the work to get the astronauts, and the country, to the Moon and back. Fishman and Shermer discuss: When President John F. Kennedy rallied the nation to go to the Moon in 1961, the task was impossible. None of the technology or techniques existed to do it. Engineers, scientists and factory workers in every state in the USA created that technology in just 8 years. They invented space travel on a deadline. Apollo is sometimes judged a disappointment because it didn’t usher in the Jetsons-like Space Age we thought it would. Fishman argues that the success of Apollo is the age we live in now — it opened the world to the digital revolution in ways that have never before been appreciated or written about. “The race to the Moon didn’t usher in the Space Age; it ushered in the Digital Age,” he writes. “And that is as valuable a legacy as the imagined Space Age might have been.” Secret tapes JFK made of meetings about space, along with other overlooked information from the Kennedy Administration, indicate that Kennedy himself was losing enthusiasm for the Moon race and the Moon landing by the fall of 1963. Had he not been assassinated, it’s not at all clear that Armstrong and Aldrin would have walked on the Moon in July 1969. The on-board computer for Apollo was the smallest, most flexible, most powerful, most user-friendly computer ever created when it flew the astronauts to the Moon — and it did its mission with less computing power than your microwave oven has today. Much of the most critical work to make the Moon missions possible was done by hand: the spacesuits were sewn by hand; the parachutes were sewn and folded by hand; the computer software was woven by hand; the heatshield was applied by hand, using a specialized version of a caulking gun. The iconic image of astronauts unfurling an American flag on the Moon almost didn’t happen. NASA had not even thought about carrying a flag on the Moon missions until just weeks before the first mission blasted off. Shermer ends by asking Fishman about the reputation of Wernher von Braun, the Nazi rocket scientist who built the mighty Saturn V rocket that took the astronauts to the moon: how can we reconcile his genius and vision with his Nazi past, especially his involvement in the slave labor that built the V-2 rockets that rained death down on England in the final year of the war?

The events in Birmingham brought national attention as the news media sent journalists and photographers to document them. Among the photographers present, Charles Moore of Life magazine and Bill Hudson of The New York Times famously photographed the events of May 3 and 4 and published the photos in their respective publications. These images of young black people brutalized by white police caused international embarrassment for the United States and its government. In the midst of the Cold War, the federal government wanted to be seen as promoting freedom and not sanctioning The negative media attention prompted Pres. Kennedy to take action. On May 3, 1963, he sent Assistant Attorney General Burke Marshall to negotiate with the ACMHR-SCLC to end the demonstrations. Over the next few days, Marshall convinced King and Ralph Abernathy to compromise with Birmingham city leaders and businessmen over the alacrity with which city accommodations and businesses would be forced to desegregate. Although the Birmingham Manifesto had called for the immediate desegregation of public spaces and private businesses, King and Abernathy agreed to allow Birmingham a short time delay to fulfill their demands. Shuttlesworth, who had been injured during the Crusade, was unable to attend the negotiation and give his input. King and Abernathy's compromise would cause a rift between King and Shuttlesworth, who believed that King had used his "local" civil rights effort to gain national recognition. The Children's Crusade stands as one of the civil rights movement's more brutal events. The violence, however, achieved the goal of raising national attention and pushing the Kennedy Administration to minimize its international embarrassment by sending agents to work towards desegregating Birmingham. On June 11, 1963, Pres. Kennedy called for a civil rights bill to prohibit racial discrimination and eliminate segregation in schools, employment, and public areas. This call would eventually culminate in the Civil Rights Act of 1964, signed by Pres. Lyndon B. Johnson on July 2 of that year.

Crusade and Jihad: The Thousand-Year War Between the Muslim World and the Global North (Yale University Press, 2018) is an ambitious attempt to cover, in one volume, the entire history of the relationship between the ‘Global North'—China, Russia, Europe, Britain, and America—and the Muslim world from Southeast Asia to West Africa. With more than a half a century of experience as a historian, policy maker, diplomat, peace negotiator, and businessman, William R. Polk endeavors to explain the deep hostilities between the Muslim world and the Global North and show how they grew over the centuries. Polk demonstrates how Islam, from its origins in the Arabian Peninsula, spread across North Africa into Europe, Central Asia, the Indian sub-continent, and Southeast Asia. But following the Mongol invasions of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, Islamic civilization entered a decline while Europe began its overseas expansion. Defeated at every turn, Muslims tried adopting Western dress, organizing Westerns-style armies, and embracing Western ideas. None of these efforts stopped the expansion of the West deep into the Muslim world in the late nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth century. The post-colonial Muslim world fell victim to what Polk calls a “post-imperial malaise,” typified by native tyrannies, corruption, and massive poverty. Eventually, this malaise gave rise to a furious blowback best typified by Al Qaeda and the Islamic State. William R. Polk taught at Harvard University and the University of Chicago, served on the Policy Planning Staff in the Kennedy Administration, negotiated the Egyptian-Israeli Suez ceasefire in the 1960s, and founded the Adlai Stevenson Institute of International Affairs. He has written nineteen books. Charles Coutinho holds a doctorate in history from New York University. Where he studied with Tony Judt, Stewart Stehlin and McGeorge Bundy. His Ph.D. dissertation was on Anglo-American relations in the run-up to the Suez Crisis of 1956. His area of specialization is 19th- and 20th-century European, American diplomatic and political history.

With more than a half a century of experience as a historian, policy maker, diplomat, peace negotiator, and businessman, William R. Polk endeavors to explain the deep hostilities between the Muslim world and the Global North and show how they grew over the centuries. Polk demonstrates how Islam, from its origins in the Arabian Peninsula, spread across North Africa into Europe, Central Asia, the Indian sub-continent, and Southeast Asia. But following the Mongol invasions of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, Islamic civilization entered a decline while Europe began its overseas expansion. Defeated at every turn, Muslims tried adopting Western dress, organizing Westerns-style armies, and embracing Western ideas. None of these efforts stopped the expansion of the West deep into the Muslim world in the late nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth century. The post-colonial Muslim world fell victim to what Polk calls a “post-imperial malaise,” typified by native tyrannies, corruption, and massive poverty. Eventually, this malaise gave rise to a furious blowback best typified by Al Qaeda and the Islamic State. William R. Polk taught at Harvard University and the University of Chicago, served on the Policy Planning Staff in the Kennedy Administration, negotiated the Egyptian-Israeli Suez ceasefire in the 1960s, and founded the Adlai Stevenson Institute of International Affairs. He has written nineteen books. Charles Coutinho holds a doctorate in history from New York University. Where he studied with Tony Judt, Stewart Stehlin and McGeorge Bundy. His Ph.D. dissertation was on Anglo-American relations in the run-up to the Suez Crisis of 1956. His area of specialization is 19th- and 20th-century European, American diplomatic and political history.

Matching ends to means, the Kennedy Administration, and the War on Terror

The standard narrative runs like this: Ngo Dinh Diem was the corrupt and oppressive president of South Vietnam whose removal (which wound up taking the form of assassination) the Kennedy Administration had no choice but to endorse. On top of everything else, Diem's administration was dominated by Roman Catholics in a predominantly Buddhist country, and his outrageous oppression of Buddhists was another reason he had to go. I myself believed all this, and even taught it in the classroom. According to our guest, it's bunk.

Welcome back to robinlofton.com!  This is the place where we are remembering history and the place where we are making it. March is an interesting month: winter melts into spring, schools take a long—and much-needed break and many of us are still on a high from last month’s Black history month celebrations and remembrances. With all the great stories, achievements, and contributions, Black history month is a very hard act to follow. But March does have its strengths.  This month, the theme will be marches. You know, when people get out and march, protest and make demands on the government for changes, improvements and justice.  I’m talking about that important and powerful form of protest: marching.    Yes, in March, we will discuss marches. We’ll discuss famous marches. We’ll discuss not-so-famous marches.  We will also examine why we march.  And, during March month—and every month—I would love to hear from you if you’ve ever been involved in a march. What was it like? What were you marching about?  What do you think of marching? Was it effective?  In short, I want to hear from you about your marching experiences.   I can begin with one of my marching experiences. I was an undergrad at UCLA.  During the 1980s (yes, I’m revealing my age bracket here), the United States was one of the last countries to maintain economic ties with South Africa. This was during the time when South Africa was in the grip of apartheid. The Black Students Association (or BSA as it is known by people in the know) organized several large marches on campus to demand that the UC Regents divest our funds from South Africa. We also demanded a full economic boycott against South Africa while it maintained the system of apartheid and while Nelson Mandela, Walter Sisulu and other members of the ANC remained in prison. Today, we know how the story ended:  Apartheid was dismantled. South Africa became an isolated symbol of racism throughout the world. And Nelson Mandela was freed from prison and became the first Black African president of South Africa. We know that he was much more than that—his legacy of power, peace, equality, and justice endure today, long after his death. And the other political prisoners were released.  Did the Black Student marches accomplish all that?  Probably not—at least not alone. But these marches were happening all over the country and I think that we all contributed to dismantling apartheid and making South Africa into a free and democratic country.  The marches at UCLA—all non-violent I should add—were events that brought us together as a community working towards a single and just cause.  We felt empowered and strong. We felt unity (remember Umoja (in Swahili) from the first day of Kwanzaa?) and a collective passion to join the struggle with people thousands of miles away who desired equality, justice and freedom.  To answer my own questions: Were our marches effective? Absolutely. Would I do it again?  I already have!  But that’s for another podcast.   Let’s back up and do a bit of housecleaning before we begin part 1 of the marches podcast series.   I hope that you enjoyed the Black History month wiki history podcasts where we answered basic questions about Black History Month: What is it?  Who started it and why?  And one of the most relevant questions (which also happened to be the most popular podcast of the month): do we still need Black History month?  That presented a great question and really made people think about why, with a Black president, we continue to need Black history month. In fact, I remember seeing the hashtag #28daysisnotenough.  It really isn’t so I will continue to learn, remember and honor Black history.  If you haven’t listened to the Black history month wiki podcasts, please take a bit of time to go back to them. They are not long. Remember that they’re wiki lectures. That means (in the Hawaiian language), that you can learn a lot really fast.       One more thing before I forget and before we start discussing famous marches:  robinlofton.com is taking a new name. This website, podcast, and blog will be called rememberinghistory.com.  I will still be the host and the front person but the name will change to reflect more closely my real goal. To remember history. To honor history. To learn from and be inspired by history. And, ultimately, to make history.  So, rememberinghistory.com.  There’s nothing that you need to do.  You can go to robinlofton.com where you’ll be forwarded to rememberinghistory.com. Or you can, of course, just visit rememberinghistory.com. Looking forward to seeing you there.   Now for the marches.               I know as I begin this podcast, you might be thinking about the blockbuster historical movie, Selma.  That’s great. I love historical movies because they help to bring history to life and remind us of the important events in history—even if they were not so long ago. And Selma, Alabama was the scene of an important march on what has come to be known as Bloody Sunday. It was March 7, 1965. There were other marches that took place around the same time, lasting for another 18 days. The Turnaround March, for example.  This was one of the most famous marches in U.S. history.  What was the march about? Voting rights for African Americans. The marchers were demanding the passage of a Voting Rights law that prohibited discrimination in the right and practice of voting. As the bloody Sunday name suggests, this non-violent march ended with police and state troopers attacking the unarmed marchers. Many were injured. Some were killed.  This march was effective: President Lyndon Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law just five months later, on August 6, 1965. There is lots more about the Voting Rights Act—it is a fundamental and revolutionary document that is constantly under attack—and I have a wiki history podcast that discusses it called Civil Rights Movement: The Laws & Supreme Court cases.  Back to the Selma march, the march was also a response to the killing of Jimmie Lee Jackson by an Alabama State trooper. Mr. Jackson was killed while fleeing violence that had erupted at a voting rights rally. The Selma march was also a response to the killing of Rev. James Reeb by four members of the Ku Klux Klan who objected to Rev. Reeb dining at an integrated restaurant. Well, if you want to know more about the Selma march, I encourage you to see the movie or listen to my podcast called The Civil Rights Movement: Marches and Protests. Actually, you can do both if you like!   One of the most famous and largest marches, not just in U.S. history, but in world history was the March on Washington, which was held on August 28, 1963. Did you know that full name was the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom?  Yes, that really tells it all. It was the largest march ever held for economic and social rights for African Americans. 250,000 people attended the march, including 60,000 whites. It was absolutely an integrated (or multicultural in modern lingo) movement—and that was very rare at the time. This is when and where SCLC president Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech.   In fact, there was a long list of speakers including A. Philip Randolph who gave the opening remarks, SNCC Chairman John Lewis (who would be a central figure at the Selma march 2 years later), National Urban League director Whitney Young, and NAACP Executive Secretary Roy Wilkens who led a moment of silence for WEB Dubois had died in Ghana on the previous night.  There was also a long list of performers like Mahalia Jackson, Marion Anderson, Joan Baez and Bob Dylan. How effective was the March on Washington? That is open to a lot of debate.  There was criticism on all sides: Some people, including Malcolm X, thought that the issue and goal of the march were too diluted as a result of multicultural support and conflicting agendas. Some people in the Kennedy Administration felt that the march was too radical and inflammatory because many speakers were questioning the effectiveness of the current civil rights bill. Still, others (particularly white segregationists) were angered that Black people and civil rights issues had been provided with so much power and coverage. Most of the participants felt that the march was an historic and life-changing experience. To me (no I wasn’t there), that historic and life-changing feeling by itself shows that the march was effective and powerful.  Following the march, President Kennedy did actually meet with civil rights leaders—that was a huge step on its own—but he had not signed the civil rights bill before his assassination. Eleven months later, his successor Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act into law.   So, those are two of the most famous marches.  There is a lot more to say about them but I encourage you read about them for yourself.  Two good books are This is the Day: The March on Washington by Leonard Freed and March from Selma to Montgomery by Michael Uschan (by the way, Michael Uschan has written a lot about African American history and his books are very readable and informative.) If you’re more the visual type, go see Selma if it’s still in the theaters. If not, then a great DVD is Selma, Lord, Selma. And a good DVD about the March on Washington is called The March, which is a documentary with Denzel Washington. I just mention these books and DVDs but you can find them all and others (with reviews) on robinlofton.com and rememberinghistory.com. Look in the store section on Marches. You can’t miss it!       And, while you’re at the website, please give me your comments about the marches, the books, the movies, or anything else that it is on your mind. I love to hear from my listeners. Remember we are part of a community and I definitely believe in freedom of speech and expression.  If you actually attended one of these marches—or another march—tell me your experiences, thoughts, and beliefs about the marches.    In the next wiki podcast, we are going to discuss some of the lesser-known marches.  These marches are not unknown, but they certainly were not on the scale of the March on Washington or the Selma to Montgomery march in terms of participation and numbers. But you might just find that they were powerful, effective and memorable in their own right. And to make it even more interesting, I am going to focus on a single city for the wiki history podcast on these lesser-known marches. I will not tell you the name of the city but here’s a hint: This city has been described as a “hotbed of radical activism.” That’s a quote. Well, think about it and tune in next time for the name of this “hotbed of radical activism” and the marches that have occurred there.  Just to jump ahead, the final podcast in the marches series will discuss why we march and examine the march as an effective tool for change. We will examine specific and modern marches so it will be quite interesting.  There is a reason that Gandhi marched and that we continue to march.   Finally, every time someone listens to these podcasts, I will donate $1 to the ASALH, the Association for the Study of African American Life & History.  This organization, founded by Carter G. Woodson, is celebrating its centennial anniversary this year and is a great organization that keeps African American history alive, growing and respected. Feel free to visit them at asalh.org.   And feel free to visit robinlofton.com and rememberinghistory.com. Hope that you enjoyed this “march” down memory lane (sorry, but I couldn’t resist that one), I hope to hear your comments and experiences, and I hope that you will join me at the next marches podcast where we are remembering history and we’re making history.   Bye for now!

To mark the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in November 1963, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and historian Richard Reeves joins Institute Director David Axelrod for an in-depth interview about JFK and his impact on American politics. The conversation will explore the successes and failures of the Kennedy Administration during its nearly three years in office and also will ask the question: What might have become of the Kennedy presidency—and the nation—had the assassination never happened?

As we mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Cuban Missile Crisis, listen to Professor David Barrett discuss his new book Blind over Cuba: The Photo Gap and the Missile Crisis which he has written with Max Holland. He describes to SPY Historian Mark Stout how the Kennedy Administration impeded reconnaissance flights over Cuba in the weeks before the crisis and how the Administration successfully covered up that fact…until now.

We think of music and art as bringing us pleasure or entertainment.  But it can also help in -- of all things -- foreign policy.  The State Department has said that hearts and minds can be won through culture just as effectively as through guns of the field.  In this segment, Chief Musician Mike Bayes of the United States Navy Band talks about how music and culture were used during the Kennedy Administration to bring the world a positive view of America -- from Jazz Ambassadors to the creation of elaborate arrival ceremonies at the White House.

Today we consider big-name celebrity concerts broadcast from the White House to be routine.  But that wasn't the case before the Kennedy Administration.  More concerts, ballets and operas were staged inside the White House for President and Mrs. Kennedy than ever had been before or ever have been since.  Actor Richard Dreyfuss takes us through the roster of singers, dancers and musicians both young and old who performed in the Kennedy years.
