As part of its annual Presidents Day program, The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza presented "JFK, History and the Politics of Memory" on February 19, 2013. The program featured New America Foundation Senior Research Fellow Timothy J. Naftali and University of Indiana Bloomington historian Edward T. Linenthal discussing how politics shape our collective memory of an event and how our thinking about tragedy is shaped by the media, ongoing investigations and the passage of time. Moderator was Jeffery A. Engel from Southern Methodist University.
