The Gertrude Polk Brown Lecture Series
/in Filson Events /by Jamie EvansTuesday, April 13 – 6:00-7:00 p.m. – By the time of his assassination in 1963, John F. Kennedy stood at the helm of the greatest power the world had ever seen, a booming American nation that he had steered through some of the most perilous diplomatic standoffs of the Cold War. “JFK: Coming of Age in the American Century, 1917–1956” is a sweeping history of the United States in the middle decades of the twentieth century, as well as the clearest portrait we have of this enigmatic American icon.
