Thursday June 11th Meeting #737
Revisiting “Dallas1963”
Margaret Gilettt and Susan Duarte will discuss “Dalas 1963”, a book that revisits what happened in Dallas in 1963 that led to the shooting and death of U.S. President John F. Kennedy. They will share opinions as to a perfect storm being in evidence in Dallas, that facilitated this horrendous outcome. Many of us who live here, and others who remember it, can question and provide insights as to what we recall. Perhaps this will lead to a more effective conclusion as to what transpired.
"The book explores the volatile political climate in Dallas that made it a focal point for the events leading to JFK's assassination, focusing on the city's far-right extremism, the Kennedy administration's actions, and the individuals who created a climate of hatred, ultimately showing how radical ideologies can poison a city and nation. The book details the rise of right-wing groups, the opposition to Kennedy, and the city's internal conflicts, presenting a fresh look at the tragedy by explaining Dallas itself, not just the assassination.

Statement on Free Speech
Our constitution and laws encourage the freest possible exchange of opinions, ideas, and information. In part, that recognizes our worth and dignity as human beings. To forbid us to speak our minds demeans us and makes us more like slaves or robots than citizens of a free country. But as important as freedom of expression is for us as individuals, it is perhaps more important to society at large.
