How the Media Covered the JFK Assassination: Reports on the Events in Dallas, Texas (2003)
The assassination evoked stunned reactions worldwide. Before the President's death was announced, the first hour after the shooting was a time of great confusion. More on the assassination:
Taking place during the Cold War, it was at first unclear whether the shooting might be part of a larger attack upon the U.S., and whether Vice-President Lyndon Johnson, who had been riding two cars behind in the motorcade, was safe.
The news shocked the nation. People wept openly and gathered in department stores to watch the television coverage, while others prayed. Traffic in some areas came to a halt as the news spread from car to car.[165] Schools across the U.S. dismissed their students early.[166] Anger against Texas and Texans was reported from some individuals. Various Cleveland Browns fans, for example, carried signs at the next Sunday's home game against the Dallas Cowboys decrying the city of Dallas as having killed the President.[167][168]
The event left a lasting impression on many Americans. As with the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor before it and the September 11, 2001 attacks after it, asking Where were you when you heard about President Kennedy's assassination would become a common topic of discussion.
The plane serving as Air Force One is on display at the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio, where tours of the aircraft are offered including the rear of the aircraft where President Kennedy's casket was placed and the location where Mrs. Kennedy stood in her blood stained pink dress while Vice-President Lyndon Johnson was sworn in as president. The 1961 Lincoln Continental limousine is at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.[172]
Equipment from the trauma room at Parkland Memorial Hospital, where President Kennedy was pronounced dead, including a gurney, was purchased by the federal government from the hospital in 1973 and stored by the National Archives at an underground facility in Lenexa, Kansas. The First Lady's pink suit, the autopsy report, the X-rays, President Kennedy's jacket, shirt and tie are stored in the National Archives facility in College Park, Maryland, and access is controlled by a representative of the Kennedy family. The rifle used by Oswald, his diary, revolver, bullet fragments, and the windshield of Kennedy's limousine are also stored by the Archives.[172] The Lincoln Catafalque, which President Kennedy's coffin rested on while he lay in state in the Capitol, is on display at the United States Capitol Visitor Center.[173]
The three-acre park within Dealey Plaza, the buildings facing it, the overpass, and a portion of the adjacent railyard -- including the railroad switching tower -- were designated part of the Dealey Plaza Historic District by the National Park Service on October 12, 1993. Much of the area is accessible to visitors, including the park and grassy knoll. Though still an active city street, the approximate spot where the presidential limousine was located at the time of the shooting is marked with an X on the street.[174] The Texas School Book Depository now draws over 325,000 visitors each year to the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza operated by the Dallas County Historical Foundation. There is a re-creation of the sniper's nest on the sixth floor of the building.[175]
At the Historic Auto Attractions museum in Roscoe, Illinois, are permanently displayed items related to the assassination such as the catalogue Oswald used to order the rifle, a hat and jacket that belonged to Jack Ruby and the shoes he wore when he shot Oswald, and a window from the Texas School Book Depository. The Texas State Archives have the clothes Governor Connally wore on November 22, 1963.
Some items were intentionally destroyed by the U.S. government at the direction of Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, such as the casket used to transport President Kennedy's body aboard Air Force One from Dallas to Washington, which was dropped by the Air Force into the sea as its public display would be extremely offensive and contrary to public policy.[176] Other items such as the hat worn by Jack Ruby the day he shot Lee Harvey Oswald and the toe tag on Oswald's corpse are in the hands of private collectors and have sold for tens of thousands of dollars at auctions.[172]
Jack Ruby's gun, owned by his brother Earl Ruby, was sold by the Herman Darvick Autograph Auctions in New York City on December 26, 1991, for $220,000.

Bridging Heaven & Earth Show # 185 with Vivianne Nantel
Vivianne, an artist and environmental and animal activist (and joyous and loving collaborator in the Bridging Art Project), was born in St-Lambert, Province of Quebec, in the suburb of Montreal, Canada. She grew up with a desire to make a contribution to the world. At a young age she was already fascinated with curvilinear lines and splashes of colors. She also spent many nights wondering about the stars, the universe, and the purpose of existence and being. The very young artist filled countless hours drawing as a child. Her interests also extended to performing arts, and her mother encouraged her to pursue ballet and theatre, which she did for over twelve years. At seventeen years old, she suffered a serious car crash in Montreal, which put an end to her emerging profession as a ballerina with Les Ballet Moderne Du Quebec. Vivianne then studied Dramatic Art in college, going on to pursue acting and modeling for the following decade. She did a series of TV commercials and prints, which eventually led her to travel to Latin America and the USA. She fell in love with the United States and in 1985 decided to stay. Destined to become a painter, she emerged in 2001 after graduating Magna cum Laude while receiving a B.F.A. from San Francisco State University with a minor in creative writing in 1999-2000. Vivianne has traveled extensively to the United Stated, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, France, Spain, Italy, Poland, Holland, Belgium, Greece, England and Austria to study and visit museums.
The essence of Vivianne's free spirit is truly of a renaissance and spiritually awakened being. Naturally gifted with many precious blessings, creating art and lovingly whispering to the world—a voice that stirs the soul; she is also a freelance writer, poet, speaker, spokesperson, model, animal activist, and humanitarian. She is dedicated and devoted to help changing this world to a more peaceful, compassionate and harmonious planet for all its inhabitants by creating more awareness, helping expand people's consciousness by opening their hearts and reconnecting to their true Divine nature and the oneness of this creation. Her childlike, humorous, spontaneous, profound, enthusiastic spirit is a delightful light. She is in a constant state of wonderment about this entire universe. Several of her articles and poems have been published in newspapers and media such as: Poet's Paper, National Literary Journal in the USA, Vallarta Tribune and Tribuna de La Bahia (in Spanish) in Mexico, Malibu Chronicle Magazine, Light & Life Journal, Planet Light Worker Magazine, and Animal Wellness Magazine. She has also appeared as a guest speaker on Earth Advocate, a regional TV program in California, and in the documentary film on Harp Seals, by Sea Shepherd Conservatory Society in 2005, and in the Art of Living Foundation international commercial.
Vivianne paintings have been exhibited in museums and galleries throughout the United States and also abroad, including: the Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum in Roscoe Village, Ohio, the Yosemite Museum in Yosemite, California, the Williamsburg Art and Historical Society of New York City; the Peace Museum and Woman Made Gallery in Chicago, Blue Dolphin Fine Art Gallery in Pensacola, Florida, Powell Street Fine Art Gallery in San Francisco, and Castle Kruenburg, Austria. One of her paintings was featured at the 2004 Women's History Exhibition at the Smithtown Township Arts Council, Mills Pond House, New York, curated by Dr. Connie Koppelman from the Stony Brook University, NY. Nantel's work also has been selected for other nationwide-juried exhibitions entitled, Celebrating the Goddess at the Joan Hanley Fine Art Gallery in La Veta, Colorado, and also at the Indian Valley Artists Center, Inc., Hamilton Field, Novato, California, entitled from Heart to Heart, and also at the Peninsula Museum of Art in Belmont, California, in a national exhibition entitled, Angels and Demons. Her work has also graced the cover of Psychic Reader Journal and Malibu Chronicle Magazine, Planet Worker Light Magazine.

SUMMARY
=======
James Abram Garfield (November 19, 1831 – September 19, 1881) was the 20th President of the United States, serving from March 4, 1881 until his death by assassination six and a half months later. Garfield had served nine terms in the House of Representatives, and had been elected to the Senate before his candidacy for the White House, though he declined the Senate seat once elected president. He was the first sitting member of Congress to be elected to the presidency, and remains the only sitting House member to gain the White House.Garfield was raised by his widowed mother in humble circumstances on an Ohio farm. He worked at various jobs, including on a canal boat, in his youth. Beginning at age 17, he attended several Ohio schools, then studied at Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts, graduating in 1856. A year later, Garfield entered politics as a Republican. He married Lucretia Rudolph in 1858, and served as a member of the Ohio State Senate (1859–1861). Garfield opposed Confederate secession, served as a major general in the Union Army during the American Civil War, and fought in the battles of Middle Creek, Shiloh, and Chickamauga. He was first elected to Congress in 1862 to represent Ohio's 19th District. Throughout Garfield's extended congressional service after the Civil War, he firmly supported the gold standard and gained a reputation as a skilled orator. Garfield initially agreed with Radical Republican views regarding Reconstruction, but later favored a moderate approach for civil rights enforcement for freedmen.
At the 1880 Republican National Convention, Senator-elect Garfield attended as campaign manager for Secretary of the Treasury John Sherman, and gave the presidential nomination speech for him. When neither Sherman nor his rivals – Ulysses S. Grant and James G. Blaine – could get enough votes to secure the nomination, delegates chose Garfield as a compromise on the 36th ballot. In the 1880 presidential election, Garfield conducted a low-key front porch campaign, and narrowly defeated Democrat Winfield Scott Hancock.
Garfield's accomplishments as president included a resurgence of presidential authority against senatorial courtesy in executive appointments, energizing American naval power, and purging corruption in the Post Office, all during his extremely short time in office. Garfield made notable diplomatic and judicial appointments, including a U.S. Supreme Court justice. He enhanced the powers of the presidency when he defied the powerful New York senator Roscoe Conkling by appointing William H. Robertson to the lucrative post of Collector of the Port of New York, starting a fracas that ended with Robertson's confirmation and Conkling's resignation from the Senate. Garfield advocated agricultural technology, an educated electorate, and civil rights for African Americans. He also proposed substantial civil service reform, eventually passed by Congress in 1883 and signed into law by his successor, Chester A. Arthur, as the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act.
On July 2, 1881, he was shot at the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Station in Washington D.C. by Charles J. Guiteau, a disappointed office seeker. The wound was not immediately fatal for Garfield, but his doctors' uncleaned and unprotected hands are said to have led to infection that caused his death on September 19. Guiteau was convicted of the murder and was executed in June 1882; he tried to name his crime as simple assault by blaming the doctors for Garfield's death. With his term cut short by his death after only 200 days, and much of it spent in ill health trying to recover from the attack, Garfield is little-remembered other than for his assassination. Historians often forgo listing him in rankings of U.S. presidents due to the short length of his presidency.

SUMMARY
=======
John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, was assassinated on Friday, November 22, 1963, at 12:30 p.m. Central Standard Time in Dallas, Texas, while riding in a presidential motorcade through Dealey Plaza. Kennedy was riding with his wife Jacqueline, Texas Governor John Connally, and Connally's wife Nellie when he was fatally shot by former U.S. Marine Lee Harvey Oswald firing in ambush from a nearby building. Governor Connally was seriously wounded in the attack. The motorcade rushed to Parkland Memorial Hospital where President Kennedy was pronounced dead about thirty minutes after the shooting; Connally recovered from his injuries.
Oswald was arrested by the Dallas Police Department 70 minutes after the initial shooting. Oswald was charged under Texas state law with the murder of Kennedy as well as that of Dallas policeman J. D. Tippit, who had been fatally shot a short time after the assassination. At 11:21 a.m. Sunday, November 24, 1963, as live television cameras covered his transfer to the Dallas County Jail, Oswald was fatally shot in the basement of Dallas Police Headquarters by Dallas nightclub operator Jack Ruby. Oswald was taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital where he soon died. Ruby was convicted of Oswald's murder, though it was later overturned on appeal, and Ruby died in prison in 1967 while awaiting a new trial.
After a ten-month investigation, the Warren Commission concluded that Oswald assassinated Kennedy, that Oswald had acted entirely alone, and that Ruby had acted alone in killing Oswald. Kennedy was the eighth US President to die in office and the fourth (following those of Lincoln, Garfield, and McKinley) and the most recent to be assassinated. Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson assumed the Presidency upon Kennedy's death.A later investigation, the United States House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) agreed with the Warren Commission that the injuries that Kennedy and Connally sustained were caused by Oswald's three rifle shots, but they also concluded that Kennedy was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy as analysis of a dictabelt audio recording pointed to the existence of an additional gunshot and therefore ... a high probability that two gunmen fired at [the] President. The Committee was not able to identify any individuals or groups involved with the possible conspiracy. In addition, the HSCA found that the original federal investigations were seriously flawed with respect to information-sharing and the possibility of conspiracy. As recommended by the HSCA, the acoustic evidence indicating conspiracy was subsequently re-examined and rejected.In light of the investigative reports determining that reliable acoustic data do not support a conclusion that there was a second gunman, the U.S. Justice Department concluded active investigations and stated that no persuasive evidence can be identified to support the th ...

Missing Files: JFK Assassination
Virtual Tour Inside San Quentin's Death Row | Los Angeles Times
Take a look inside San Quentin's death row with Los Angeles Times reporter Paige St.John.
California’s crowded death row is as defined by architecture as it is the legal battles that have blocked executions since 2006. The original men's death row, the fourth floor of the north cell block at San Quentin State Prison, filled up shortly after the death penalty was restored in 1978.
Since then, more than 900 people have been sentenced to death but only 13 have been executed by the state. The majority of the 699 condemned men currently housed at San Quentin are in what started as overflow housing in East Block. They live, eat and sleep in two rows of open-front cells, stacked five stories high like containers in the hold of a cargo ship.
The granite structure is straight out of 1930, the year it was built. The cavern is filled with sound: metal echoing off stone, the drone of large air circulation systems, and random shouts drifting down from above.
The average death penalty appeal in California takes 25 years or more.
There is currently no court-sanctioned execution protocol, though a single-drug method is proposed for public comment. The process of regulatory review and then legal challenge is expected to take years.
In November, Californians will be asked to vote on competing ballot measures-- to throw out the death penalty or to speed up appeals. Both measures would ease the confinement restrictions on the condemned.

The Murder Of Emmett Till (The Full Documetary) HD
This is the Full Shocking documentary on Emmett Louis Till, who was a 14-year-old African-American who was lynched in Mississippi in 1955, after a white woman said she was offended by him in her family's grocery store.
Till was born and raised in Chicago and in August 1955, was visiting relatives near Money, in the Mississippi Delta region. He spoke to 21-year-old Carolyn Bryant, the white married proprietor of a small grocery store there. Although what happened at the store is a matter of dispute, Till was accused of flirting with or whistling at Bryant. Decades later, Bryant disclosed that, in 1955, she had fabricated testimony that Till made verbal or physical advances towards her in the store. Till's reported behavior, perhaps unwittingly, violated the strictures of conduct for an African American male interacting with a white woman in the Jim Crow-era South. Several nights after the store incident, Bryant's husband Roy and his half-brother J. W. Milam went armed to Till's great-uncle's house and abducted the boy. They took him away and beat and mutilated him before shooting him in the head and sinking his body in the Tallahatchie River. Three days later, Till's body was discovered and retrieved from the river. The Story they want you to forget.

The Spanish Flu Pandemic: Influenza in Montgomery County
Alan Hawk spoke to an audience at the 2018 Montgomery County History Conference.
This presentation explores how the “Spanish Flu” spread through Montgomery County, Maryland, and its effect on its population. Even a century after the pandemic, Montgomery County continues to have a role in characterizing and understanding 1918 Influenza Virus. In 1918, Montgomery County, Maryland was a rural county with a growing suburb served by the Metropolitan Line of the B&O Railroad and an expanding trolley car network. When the Spanish Flu arrived in the county it was mobilizing for World War I. On September 28, a 9-year old boy died of Lobular Pneumonia and Influenza in Forest Glen, Maryland. During the next five months, over 200 Montgomery County residents would die of influenza and/or pneumonia. However, Montgomery County’s role with the Spanish Flu did not end in 1919. In 1996, Jeffrey Taubenberger and Ann Reid of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology used pathological specimens to isolate and sequence a portion of the genetic structure of the influenza virus.
Nearly a century after the pandemic, federal civilian and military public health agencies monitor any incidences of emerging novel influenza strains that may arise worldwide to ensure the best available and proper countermeasures are in place before a pandemic occurs.

Biblical Series I: Introduction to the Idea of God
Lecture I in my Psychological Significance of the Biblical Stories series from May 16th at Isabel Bader Theatre in Toronto. In this lecture, I describe what I consider to be the idea of God, which is at least partly the notion of sovereignty and power, divorced from any concrete sovereign or particular, individual person of power. I also suggest that God, as Father, is something akin to the spirit or pattern inherent in the human hierarchy of authority, which is based in turn on the dominance hierarchies characterizing animals.

The Blood of Emmett Till
In 1955, a fourteen-year-old young black man named Emmett Till was visiting relatives in Mississippi when he was murdered by a group of white men after making flirtatious remarks to a white woman. Till’s attackers were never convicted, but Till’s lynching became one of the most notorious hate crimes in American history and launched the Civil Rights Movement. In his latest book, The Blood of Emmett Till, Professor Timothy B. Tyson, reexamines this monumental event using a wide range of new sources, interviews, and transcripts and redefines a crucial moment in civil rights history. A book signing follows the program.
